The Nottingham |Cheese Riot of 1766-The Game
Rules?
Just to point out that this is a retrospective project as I have already put this game together and played it. So this short project goes through some of my choices. For a miniature game which involves stealing cheese I looked at scenarios that involve loot. Frost grave was an obvious choice. However legends of the highseas is set in the 18th century and has rules for firearms. The players aren't Wargamers so I needed to get rid of star lines and just have a simple version. 
There are sample rules for random townsfolk and mayor's. My game has no pirates and the main protagonists are women and children armed with cheese so I had to think of a way to weapinise the dairy products. 
There is also a loot the town scenario. If I replace the loot with cheese and also get rid of the two opossing sides. Instead have each cheese guarded by merchants and the players operate as competing mobs if women and children who have to grab as much cheese before the mayor and the dragoons arrive
