    Down Styphon!: A Musket and Pike War Game

     

    A set of Musket and Pike miniatures rules based on the book "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" by H. Beam Piper. Comes complete with army organizations and descriptions of flags and uniforms for a complete campaign. Includes 2 double sided cardstock reference sheets. The plot of "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" revolves around Calvin Morrison, a Pennsylvania state trooper who is caught in a "time field" and dragged into an alternate probability Earth--ARYAN-TRANSPACIFIC SUB-SECTOR STYPHON'S HOUSE. The political situation he has to cope with there is that the entire civilization is ruled by a theocracy called Styphon's House. Styphon's House can maintain its defacto control of the "known" world because only its priests knew the secret of making gun powder. Calvin bursts through time into Hostigos, whose people are sick of domination by Styphon's House. With his own knowledge of the formula for making gun powder, Calvin (now called Lord Kalvan) quickly assumes an important position in Hostigos, helping to save them from an attack by Nostor (which is backed by Styphon's House) and Sask. Of course, the creation of a nation opposed to Styphon's House which can utilize its own weapon (gun powder) against the tyrannical theocracy, soon throws everything out of kilter. . . These rules may also be used, with minimal adaptations, as a simple set of rules for the English Civil War or any pike and musket battle. Merely drop all rules for better gunpowder and rifled arms. (Kalvan's advantages) Treat all mounted rifles as dragoons/mounted or dismounted with musketoons. Dragon Trove ID 9549
