Muskets and Mohawks 2 Progress Report


Burrovian Lights skirmish with Krautian Dwarves


Street Fighting Rabbits
Just a quick note today.

Have been looking over Muskets and Mohawks 2. Thought it was "done" but on re-inspection the state of THW rules has progressed.

M & M 2 is therefore being tweaked to match.

Do not be frightened by the photos. M & M 2 will be a historical game covering skirmishes in the French and Indian War as well as the American Revolution. I just like to play test with my Flintloque figures.
So far as rules updates are concerned:

  • "In Sight" is being instituted. 
  • Bows have been toned down by not having them inflict "Knock Down" results.
  • Canon and mine rules are being re-visited.
  • Canoe rules are being re-visited.
  • An addition of a point blank range is being considered.
Apologies for the delay but a better game will be the result.

  1. Nice call. That's what I was thinking about myself. I'd like to get M&M and FNG 2 on the latest, soon to be released mechanics.

  4. Which "In Sight" are you using, CR3 or the new one from 5150:NB?

  6. I'm looking forward to the new set. The main puzzle in the THW current mechanics is that they work well in back and forth firefights with quick loading weapons. How is musket rate of reload handled in this set?

    Thanks!

  7. Single shot weapons take time to reload. That means make your shots count, expect more melee as often times you'll get charged and get off one shot before contact. Unlike modern weapons yo may find yourself holding fire.
