Blood & Steel

Blood & Steel is a skirmish level game set during the reign of Queen Victoria. It focuses on combat at the fringes of larger battles and is based on the same mechanics as Blood & Plunder and Blood & Valor, but with key changes that makes it a different gaming experience. The following conflicts (and force lists) are included:

• 2nd Seminole War (United States & Seminoles)
• Mexican American War (United States & Mexico)
• US Civil War (Union & Confederacy)
• 2nd Taranaki War (Great Britain & Māori)
• Anglo-Zulu War (Great Britain & Zulu)
• Spanish American War (United States & Spain)

• Small Units: 

  Units are typically composed of four to eight models, with individual leaders and support personnel.
• Mission-Based Scenarios: 

  Players use objective cards to add variety and replayability through missions that focus on actions like raids, ambushes, and securing objectives.
• Skill Tests: 

  Units perform skill tests using 10-sided dice (d10s) to determine success in actions like shooting, melee, and resolve.
• Command Range: 

  Leaders have a command range (8-inch for lieutenants, 12-inch for majors and higher) that allows them to activate units.
• Adaptable Rules: 

  While designed for 28mm miniatures, the rules can be adapted for different scales or for larger-scale games using existing basing conventions from other games.
