Righteous Harmonious Fists Scenario Book

I received the Righteous Harmonious Fists scenario books from Caliver Books today. It's a wargamer's guide to the Boxer Uprising by Mike Blake and Chris Swan and it is excellent! The book contains 18 detailed scenarios, organized for Black Powder rules, but easily transferable to other colonial rules. There are also chapters on uniforms, national characteristics and a list of books for further reading. I plan to use my 54mm collection for the smaller skirmishes, my 20mm collection for larger skirmishes and my 15mm miniatures for the larger actions. "Though this be madness, yet there is method in it."

I would also like to mention Colonial Campaigns Boxer Rebellion by Mark Fastoso, which focuses on Admiral Seymor's Relief Attempt alone. This book has been around for 20 years and uses the Sword and the Flame small unit option. Like Righteous Harmonious Fists, the scenarios can easily be translated to other colonial rules.

It's the mark of a good book that I can't wait to get my Boxer Uprising miniatures back onto the game table.
