If you're interested in gaming in these other periods and like the system, go for it, it's a nice adaptable system I use for a few things.
The alternate settings just give a little historical background about these conflicts, suggests which posse lists from which books would best represent which sides and gives ideas for which weapons should be permitted. If you have Frontier and The Alamo you can work it all out yourself from there, if you don't, Showdown just tells you to go look in them anyway. It is a good book for the core old west game, also it has some fun one-off movie based scenarios, but all these extra settings aren't complete, it's a chapter about how you can convert the game to other eras and conflicts. A whole page for ACW, recommending army lists and weapons rules from both previous source books.Īgain anyone who wants to buy this book for the extra settings, don't, you'll be sorry you did. Hopefully Warhammer Historical will pick some of these popular alternate settings, like ACW, Prohibition and Napoleonics and do full books for them. It's going to require plenty of work on our part to create a full and working campaign system for Al Capone, the whole chapter on alternate settings is about starting points, not ready to run eras. It gives examples of which possies from other books to use as what, for example Gangsters = Outlaws. The tommy gun rules are given as changes from the gattling gun in Blood on the Plains, rather than complete. Well, it's not too fleshed out and depends on at least Blood on the Plains. This chapter is more a guide to get you started with suggestions on how to handle more modern weapons like the Tommy Gun, they give examples for a ton of settings from Napoleonics to the World Wars.
Much of this refers to rules from Blood on the Plains and The Alamo, which is a pain for me as I don't have a copy of them. The alternate settings aren't fully detailed and ready to go, there is a chapter on using the Legends rules for other settings. Some cool new scenario ideas with new 'fantasy legends' to go with them, including Masked Avenger, in two variants The Lone Ranger and Zorro. The focus is more on small games than the last two big battle books, there are some new campaign ideas, a new random events table and even a new gang, the Tong along with weapons and locations to go with them. I picked up a copy last weekend, it's a nice book. Download Free eBook:Legends of the Old West (Warhammer Historical Wargames) - Free chm, pdf ebooks download.
