Let’s get ready to Ruckus!!

We have already provided you with a couple of teasers for Never Mind the Billhooks – Here’s the Ruckus, with Designer’s Notes in Wi433 (January) and battle reports in Wi434 (February), now it’s time for the real deal! Your free medieval skirmish rules are here and we’re sure you are going to enjoy gaming some tabletop hack-and-slash as much as we have enjoyed developing them.

Praise for that development goes to the game’s dedicated designer Mike Peters and ruleset editor (Wi’s own) James. With the help of a dedicated group of playtesters, Mike has been able to transform his vague ideas on downsizing Never Mind the Billhooks into a stand-alone set of rules which borrows from its Billhooks big brother but can fight its own battles and hopefully win its army of fans.

Gather your band of warriors and lead them to glory (or at the very least – lead them on a raid to steal your opponent’s cattle!).

While there is more than enough to enjoy in your Ruckus supplement, there’s also plenty of interest inside this month’s mag, with cowboys, Panzers, Penda, cogs, elephants, and immaculate brushwork all vying for your attention.
