Hey everyone.
Does anyone know of a BP2 review? Would they care to share the link? Are there revised rules (sorely needed IMO).

I had my first game of it. It's the same game as V1 with minor changes. Basically bits here and there from the supplements were brought into the core rules. 2nd edition is so close that it is 100% compatible with all V1 supplements.

Here's a bit of a play through

Thanks! Will watch tomorrow while I work on my Iron Clad!

Would you be interested in a bolt action type game in the age of BP?

I do not understand, can you elaborate?

Written. Unplaytested. I think I'm going to utilize that print on demand game creator. Haven't had a whole lot of time lately to finish it off. Kinda Bolt action + Conflict specific l army specific "Strategems" printed on playing cards.

I am interested in learning more, simply because I am not sure how compatible Black Powder/Horse and Musket period is with the conventions of Bolt Action WWII skirmish? I am interested in hearing how you merge the two.

Perhaps a post in the Game Design section makes more sense?

Easy, I will for sure post in Game design. I posted a first draft that was met with mixed.... Er... no reviews. I think you commented maybe. Since then it has been simplified and complexified!

I also thought about the idea of a skirmish game in the blackpowder era using the Bolt Action mechanics. I wrote up some very simple modifications. You can see what I came up with here: http://adventuresinminiaturegaming.blogspot.com/2014/08/horse-and-musket-bolt-action-with.html
