Osprey Publishing - Wargames 3 - In Her Majesty's Name, Steampunk Skirmish Wargaming Rules

This is a set of skirmish rules for games with two or more players fielding a small number of figures per side, usually between five and twenty, though there is no set minimum or maximum number. The key design philosophy has been simplicity. The idea is that the players can learn the rules in a few minutes and then get on with the game.

The game is based in the realm of classic Victorian Science Fiction and the more modern development of ‘Steampunk’. The genre is heavily inspired by the works of H.G Wells, Jules Verne, Bram Stoker, Rudyard Kipling, Mary Shelley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs et al.

Each player forms an Adventuring Company led by a heroic officer, a devious foreign agent or one of a selection of other protagonists. They pit their forces against other companies to advance the power and glory of their nations or causes – and perhaps for a handsome reward as well.
