Free wargame rules on the web:
These free wargame rules are part of the ' Age of Musket' series which covers the era of the Musket from 1690 to 1865 .

The Shako and Musket 1954 - 1856 rules cover the battles of the Crimean War in the Crimean Peninsula .
A war that saw the British allying with the French , as well as the Turks and Sardinians to combat Russian Imperialism in the Black sea .

The British as well as the French saw a Russian break out of the Black sea as a threat to their empires. A threat that became very real as the
Russian army advanced into Turkey threatening the Bospherous straits .
The Allies sailed to the Crimea to threaten Sevastopol and capture
the port thus preventing any Russian ambition to enter the Mediterranean with Naval ships .

The rules are intended to be quick and easy to use , with minimal die rolling and sensible morale and casualty result's .
The rules can also be used for large and modest sized games with figures of differing scales .
These rules have been play tested by the Harlow Wargames club as well as by myself to test out different
scenario's to see how they resolve .

The rules are in PDF format, ( aprox 100kb ) for ease of access and printing. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat reader go to the Adobe website
for the latest reader.
Happy wargaming .
