The New Zealand Wars

Skirmish Game for the NZ Land Wars 1845 - 1872



The New Zealand Wars is a simple and fast-play skirmish game covering the wars between Colonial and Maori forces in the mid 19th century in New Zealand. This ruleset is designed to be fast and brutal, and to reflect accurately the specifics of the period, and the asymmetry of the forces. Maori forces utilize guerrilla tactics, emerging from hidden rifle pits and outflanking Colonial positions, while Colonial forces rely on their superior weapons and drill/training. Players compose their forces from an army list, and add extra support like artillery or trenches, or fortified Pa in the case of the Maori forces. There are multiple scenarios and deployments to play, and the variety of possible army lists adds to the replayability. Officers and Ariki (Maori Chiefs) also factor in, being able to issue orders and fight. Rules are provided for muskets, carbines, swords, taiaha, patu, pistols and a few other melee weapons. Maori forces can upgrade regular soldiers to be combat specialists, as well as being able to field sawn-off double barreled shotguns (called Tupara), artillery and various other forms of support. Most soldiers can be given horses too and made mounted. Colonial forces can field regular British soldiers, militia, forest rangers, as well as artillery and can also make use of horses.

28mm Miniatures are recommended, and the author uses the wonderful Empress miniatures made for this conflict. Any scale would work with these rules though.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
