DescriptionIt is Autumn, 1861. The Civil War of the United States is underway. The slave state of Texas is part of the Confederacy and the Confederate Army has failed to uphold their promises to the Comanche tribes which angers them into a retaliation against the white settlers of Texas and pushes the frontier east over 100 miles, causes forts to close and even shuts down the famed Santa Fe trail. With the army being sent to fight the Union there is virtually no opposition to the Comanche onslaught save for the few remaining Texas Rangers. Some of those who perished or were pushed out of the frontier during the Comanche offense of the early 1860s are well known in history while others have been lost in time. This western skirmish game uses a fictional situation to represent the struggles of the settler's, the determination of the Comanche to take back their hunting grounds, and the heroic deeds of the Texas Rangers in this pivotal point of US History. This skirmish adventure is designed for two players, though it can include numerous ones by playing the roles of individual units or groups of them. It is in two parts: 1.McAlister Ranch Assault - in which one player(s) play the Comanche's, the other the McAlister's. 2.Rescue Mission/Retaliation - in which one player(s) play the Comanche's while the others play the Texas Rangers. ---- Copyright 2006 Robert Reppert I am seeking playtesters for the forum playability of my skirmish level game "Comancheria". We'll start with D20 Modern rules, having access to Dog House Rules' "Sidewinder:Recoiled" would help but is not required as I can fill you on the minor differences. You also do not have to create a character as they are pre-generated and will be assigned. I currently have one player on the Comanche team so interested parties should email me (or use the request to join feature at www.playbyweb.com). Let me know which team for each part you'd like to be on (you can be on any side since this is skirmish level I the "admin" can be both GM and player since nothings actually secret like in an RPG but I'd rather not so I can see how entirely how players work it out. The team options to choose from: Part 1. Macalister Ranch Assault - let me know if you'd like to be on Comanche side or Ranchers side. Part 2. Rescue/Retaliation - let me know if you'd like to be on Comanche or Texas Ranger's side. If you choose Comanche it may be best to choose that for both parts since actions from the first part affect the second but its not absolutely necessary. thank you, Robert Reppert robocoastie@gmail.com www.robertreppert.com |
