Description

Broadly based upon "Sword and Pistol" and "Sword and Shield" by the same author, SIEGE is designed to play out siege warfare in the ancient and medieval periods in a relatively fast game. One figure represents 8 men. Written for 15mm miniatures the rules are adaptable to other scales. Percentage dice are used, there is a points system for those who want one. Rules appear to cover most or all aspects of siege warfare, including: artillery, siege engines, structural damage, fires, storming fortifications, rules for riders being thrown, riderless mount, collisions, caltrops, wrecking siege engines, boiling water as a weapon, dropping rocks, hacking holes in walls, ditches and trenches, ladders, fighting indoors, falling, spotting, nighttime and moats, etc. The book also includes two scenarios: Persians besieging Greeks, and Crusaders besieging Byzantines. Plus a QRS and an orders sheet that can be copied.
