Half the fun is playing around
with the miniatures.... |
After
enjoying Daniel Mersey’s Victorian skirmish rules –
The Men Who Would
Be Kings – I had some inspiration to adapt them to other
periods for which I have miniatures. Although it would have been
easier to start with the French and Indian War (FIW) or American War
of Independence (AWI) considering their historical proximity to the
original rules, I decided to try porting them to
Star Wars to
use my collection of 25mm painted miniatures and engage my son’s
immediate enthusiasm. I have modest numbers of stormtroopers,
Imperial army troopers, Rebel troopers, bounty hunters, and a few
other models that could muster into appropriate units, plus a host of
terrain to simulate desert, forest, or other environments. And I have
a more-or-less willing opponent in the Little Guy, whose interest in
Star Wars seemingly waxes and wanes with the moon’s phases
but otherwise enjoys playing with Daddy’s toys (though he’d
prefer to play during the Clone Wars era...). So I set out to
customize
The Men Who Would Be Kings
for
Star Wars
miniatures.
