American Revolution Skirmishes

Most of the unit types that were typically involved in small skirmishes during the Revolution are represented here. In addition, a pair of proposed "unit decks" made up of these cards are presented. These decks will allow you to quickly construct semi-historical skirmish scenarios in a few minutes.

Unit Decks

At the bottom of the page you'll find links to some more specific and characterful scenarios, but I hope these decks will provide you with some interesting games. The scenarios generated won't always be balanced, but just consider that part of the challenge for the evening.

Special Considerations

No force should ever have more Hero cards than other cards. If a Hero card is drawn that will take the total Heroes over half the alloted cards for the scenario, simply discard the new Hero card and draw again.

If a player draws a Light Artillery card, their opponent may draw an extra card for free.

All average officers must roll once on the chart below to see if they have any additional Edges/Hindrances. All excellent officers must roll twice, re-rolling any Edge/Hindrance they already have.

1	None
2	Big Britches
3	Sand
4	Level Headed
5	Brawny
6	The Voice

All poor officers must roll once on the following chart to see if they have any additional Hindrances.

Roll (d6)	Hindrance
1-2	None
3	Bad Eyes
4	Geezer
5	Squeamish
