Description

Horse & Musket: Annual #1 is a bite‑sized blast of tactical drama that drops you straight into the Age of Reason’s gritty frontier battles. In a snug 30‑to‑60‑minute session, you and a friend (or solo, if you’re feeling brave) command troops on a modular hex grid that reshapes the battlefield each game, juggling action points, dice rolls, and a mix of pikes, shot, and cavalry. The rules sit at a comfortable “normal” level—any board‑game veteran will get the hang of it quickly, and the learning curve feels more like a friendly tutorial than a lecture. Designed by the crew behind the original Horse & Musket line—Sean and Daniel Chick, Johan Brattström, Owen Edwards, Paul Mach, and Juan Palacios—this expansion adds fresh scenarios that echo the American Indian Wars while keeping the classic wargame feel. If you love the base titles (Dawn of an Era, Sport of Kings, Crucible of War), Annual #1 is the perfect appetizer before diving into the bigger expansions.
