1676

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Pilgrim cavalry charges! Desperate attacks on fortified settlements! Daring ambushes! These are just a few of the skirmishes you can fight with 1676 - a tabletop miniatures game set in New England during the Native American uprising that became known as King Philip’s War.

The types of conflicts that occurred in King Philip’s War were usually small skirmishes that can be represented on a tabletop with these rules. You can play a native war party or a force from the Army of the United Colonies. If you want to add “fell creatures,” magic, & (gasp!) European powers, there is a supplement available with these additions (Mad Dogs & Englishmen).

The core rules are provided in only 5 pages. They are simple & straightforward. Simple die rolls - using 6- & 8-sided dice - are used to resolve combat & other actions. Most actions have the same target for success, so they are resolved quickly.

You can use one of the pre-made “armies” provided in a second PDF (Part Two), or can create your own balanced forces using a simple point build system. Part Two includes unit cards, sample army lists, & all the tokens you’ll need. Alternatively, premade Unit cards, Command cards, & (Mis)Fortune cards are now available from The Game Crafter.

Both books are illustrated with photographs of figures from Brigade Games' King Philip's War line. With these figures (supplemented by those from other manufacturers), you can now easily field beautiful forces in miniature to represent the combatants.

So heed the call to arms! Your colony or tribe is depending on you!

NOTES: The Mad Dogs & Englishmen supplement is now available on Wargame Vault for $1 US. This 42 page PDF lets you add Shamans, Witches, Ministers, Creatures, and four European armies to your 1676 games. There's also a bundle deal to get both for $2.49.

Thanks to the eagle eyes of the Black Cavalier, several mistakes & confusing sections were identified & corrected in the 10-8-16 version. I apologize for not catching them earlier. I posted errata detailing the changes in case you are interested.

Yes, that is correct. Thanks for catching this! I'll clarify it when I do a (free) update to the rules.

Just clarifying that units that are ordered to "Stay at the Ready" do not move first. If you look at the bullets on page 4, Stay at the Ready is indented as part of the "Move and then..." hierarchy.

What's the figure to men ratio in this game? I looked at the sample and one of the armies was 500+ men? How many figures do you use to represent this force?

Sorry for the confusion! The army shown in the sample is the actual roster of the colonial force at the end of 1675 to give you an idea of what the entire colonial army looked like. The figure:man ratio is 1:1 in the game; your battle force will consist of around 30-50 figures (for the colonials, this is generally just part of a single regiment).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
