"Dominion of Marlborough and Peter the Great" Rules

    Steve Parker of Orc Publishing has released his newest set of Dominion rules; " Dominion of Marlborough and Peter the Great". It is familiar setup of rules and 24 historical battles. 

  To be honest I was not sure if I was going to buy this set of rules. I have bought the entire set of rules, with the exception of the Ancients battles book (I couldn't get it to let me buy it). I really like these rules, but do I need all for the sets? 

In the end I chose to buy them. When I first started gaming, one of my first books was Peter Young's "Charge!". So my first armies were 18th century armies, including Edition Brokow Marlborough figures. 

With this newest addition, I bought heavy card stock and a stapler that could go through all the pages. I am happy with the result, and have decided to put new covers on all my different "Doninion of" rules.

Dominion of Patriots and Redcoats

    Ork Publishing has come out with their newest ruleset, "Dominion of Patriots and Redcoats". As one can figure out, it is a ruleset for the American Revolutionary War, which makes good sense as it's the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolution. 

    The format is the same as other rulesets; explanation of the rules, some suggested army list, and 24 battles. All for under $6.00. 

   When I first started in wargaming, my interest was early American wars, from King Philip's War  to the Mexican American War.  With this current volume, I am thinking revisiting doing early American wars. Besides doing French and Indian War, his lists includes other Indian wars. And looking at these new rules, they can be used for the War of 1812, a war that I am especially interested in.

   Once again I am thinking of trying the suggested armies with different rulesets.  I just have to get motivated!

My newest rule booklets. As I started doing with other sets, I put the Quick Reference Sheet on the back of both booklets.
