The Sword and the Flame

Rules Variants

by Richard Brooks


The following two articles contain adjustments to The Sword And The Flame rules and were written at least a year ago and sent to Preziosi for publication, he sent them on to me. I hope you enjoy them and can steal some ideas from them.

While playing a TSATF variant at Cold Wars the situation occurred that an Afghan Unit moved across my front and attacked me in the rear. "WHAT?" I exclaimed. Can't I opportunity fire at them? No commander would allow the enemy to charge across their front and be attacked in the rear. But, alas no opportunity fire. So I appeal to you rules writers to come up with an opportunity fire, for either side, for TSATF rules.

Local Optional Rules for TSATF
Version 2.2 for TSATF
