Beyond the Empire

 

This is another set of rules that I'm planning to try out at some point next year for the Back of Beyond, as an alternative to Contemptible Little Armies, my go-to rules for this sort of thing. I was hoping to pick up a copy at Warfare at the weekend but, for various tedious reasons, I won't be going this year, so I got mine via eBay. It's supposed to be a pretty good set of 'skirmish' level rules, with card-based turn mechanisms and all the whistles and bells for interwar 'Back of Beyond' wargaming, so I have high hopes it will give me a boot up the bum to dust off my figures for some games. There's a supplement for solo play and campaigns available but I'll see if the system ticks my boxes first, before spending any more of my hard-earned pocket money.

  1. Be interesting to see what you think of these. My BoB figures haven't seen the light of day for a few years, apart from the odd outing to supplement my VBCW forces and more small scale skirmish rules are always welcome
