The Makers of SAGA Grab their Muskets and Tomahawks
June 14, 2012 by dracs
Studio Tomahawk's Alex Bushel, the brains behind SAGA the dark ages era skirmish game, has come out with a new rule set for skirmishing in 18th century America. It's time to grab your Muskets and Tomahawks.
So far we're unsure on what the mechanics of the game is like, although the rule book does come with a set of cards for use in the game. Possibly it may be similar to SAGA's game play, or maybe its something completely different to allow for the new technology which would be available to some factions. Either way this is definitely a game to look out for.
It might also provide you with another game in which to use Gripping Beast's Skraeling miniatures for SAGA.
Unfortunately the Studio Tomahawk webpage for the game is yet to be translated into English, although that should be appearing soon. In the meantime you can pick this up from their collaborators over at Gripping Beast.
Are any of you interested in this period of history? How do you think the rules will compare to those of SAGA?

Who makes the miniatures in the picture?
The likelihood is that its Musketeer Miniatures (they seem to do a lot of the SAGA miniatures), but you can get them from the Gripping Beast website. I don’t know for certain I’m afraid.

I am intrigued. This would be a very nice period for skirmish based games.
@fatweaver they are from Gripping beast. They are armed with flint weapons so will need to change weapons if you intend to use for this game instead of Saga.
This is one rule set I have had my eye on and fully intend to buy soon.
Maybe I should rewatch “The last of the Mohicans” to push me on
Just an after thought I believe this ruleset from Tomahawk studios preceeds Saga (which was written in colaberation with gripping beast) and it has only recently been translated into English.
I don’t believe it plays the same as Saga but i have heard some good things about it and there was quite a bit of interest at Salute.
