About the Game

Muskets & Tomahawks II is a set of rules for recreating skirmishes during the major wars of the 18th and 19th centuries.

This “small war” is intrinsic to military campaigns and encompasses a huge variety of situations: reconnaissance missions, raids on enemy villages, attacks on convoys and outposts, and much more.

Muskets & Tomahawks sees you lead a detachment of between twenty and over a hundred figures in thrilling and tactical battles. Centred on the card-based activation of different troop types, with innovative mechanics that recreate the chaos of these kinds of encounters, Muskets & Tomahawks lets you replay the great wars of the age of black powder.

In this book you will find the core rules, as well as a set of special rules to recreate the peculiarities of the small war: spotting the enemy, hidden movement, the varying reactions of units with different doctrines, combat in unusual conditions, and officers’ ambitions and personal intrigues.
