This publication is to help wargames with the New Zealand Wars especially with the Waikato War that started in 1863.

It gives you not only a set of rules for skirmish wargming the invasion of the Waikato, but also a set of wargaming rules for a campaign in that period that could be modified for all periods during the New Zealand Wars 1845-1872.
