Dominion of Sombreros and Dynamite: Fight Battles of the Mexican Revolution Solo Game

This is the Dominion of Sombreros and Dynamite Fight Battles of the Mexican Revolution Solo Game.

This standalone set of rules is built on the Dominion of the Spear solo game system with appropriate rule changes for the Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 - in particular defeated units become unreliable instead of being removed.

These are very very simple rules with armies of 3-7 units and a solo battle can be fought in around 15-20 minutes. An example play through game is included.

There is a Quick Reference Sheet on the back cover. Use paper and pen (or miniatures of any scale) as there is no measuring (grid used). Uses 2 six sided dice.
