For Queen and Planet: The Imperial Wars of Earth and Mars - 1845-1930

The sweep of the red Sudanese desert, scattered with thorny trees and pierced by black basalt outcrops is the setting for this cinematic rule set. The whirling dervish, the fanatical Ansar and the lonely British foot soldier far from home are the combatants. Q&P is designed to balance the mass and ferocity of the local peoples against the technology and training of the Colonial powers and to provide a fair and reasonable struggle for both imperial General and local Emir. This rule set includes: • All rules necessary to play either a colonial or Victorian Science-Fiction (VSF) version of the game. • An alternative timeline for VSF genre play. • Unit lists detailing British, British-colonial, Ansar, Beja and Cephalopod forces. • A nine-scenario campaign that will allow you to play your way through the Mahdi’s rebellion. • A quick reference sheet for most common information. • A one-page how to do things to help you get comfortable with the rules. • A blank unit command sheet.
