Quick-playing wargame rules for the Wars of Spanish-American Liberation. While the colourful uniforms evoke the Napoleonic Wars, these campaigns were markedly different, and the game reflects this at every turn. Follow in the footsteps of Bolívar and San Martín at any scale you prefer, from 2mm to 54mm! Designed specifically for the Wars of Liberation rather than adapting Napoleonic rules to these smaller, more cutthroat internecine actions, Libertadors forces players to manage force morale and inspire their troops to full and fierce faith in their cause. Commitment to the cause wins more battles than steady supply lines! With practice and the variable bound turn system, battles involving around 5,000 troops a side can be played in almost real time. Focusing on heroes who lead by example, Libertadors' straightforward yet thematic mechanics provide meaningful and flavourful tactical choices throughout the game. Included in the book are: . Flexible army selection system with common troop types and special rules for the diverse armies of South and Central America. . Special characters and historical units for each faction. . Historical scenarios with maps and army lists. . Random events table. . Scenario generator for pick-up games, with separate missions for each player. . A campaign system informed by the peculiar realities of the period. AUTHOR: Matt Moran started wargaming in his childhood with Stuart Asquith's 'Wargaming World War Two', before parlaying that interest into playing and writing wargames and role-playing games set in all periods from the Neolithic to the grim, dark future. Established in Nottingham where he lives with his wife, Moran primarily works as a French-to-English translator specialising in tabletop games, but also dabbles in fiction and commission painting. A life-long aversion to tournament play has seen him collect miniatures in every scale from 1/3000 to 1/32 with which to have fun telling stories with friends. 40 colour illustrations, 1 colour map
