For Queen and Planet – Core Rules


The sweep of the red Sudanese desert, scattered with thorny trees and pierced by black basalt outcrops is the setting for this cinematic rule set. The whirling dervish, the fanatical Ansar and the lonely British foot soldier far from home are the combatants.


With these rules, you can take the role of the British commander tasked by the Queen with maintaining crown rule in distant, inhospitable lands or the local emir, committed to exercising his own free will over the natives who will fight with all their blood, sweat and tears.


Q&P is designed to balance the mass and ferocity of the local peoples against the technology and training of the Colonial powers and to provide a fair and reasonable struggle for both imperial General and local Emir.

For Queen and Planet - Making Colonial Wargaming fun!

This rule set includes:

  • All rules necessary to play either a colonial or VSF version of the game.
  • An alternative timeline for VSF genre play.
  • Unit lists detailing British, British-colonial, Ansar, Beja and Cephalopod forces.
  • A nine-scenario campaign that will allow you to play your way through the Mahdi’s initial rebellion against Egyptian garrison forces all the way through to the siege of Khartoum.
  • A quick reference sheet for most common information.
  • A one-page how to do things to help you get comfortable with the rules.
  • A blank unit command sheet.

CAMPAIGN SCENARIOS

Each of the scenarios in this rulebook is written to be fought as a pure colonial battle, but it is very easy to add a VSF flare to any scenario or battle you fight with this rule system. I have included an addendum (in italics) to each ‘colonial’ battle to allow you to make it a VSF battle. Play balance will not be affected by converting colonial battles to VSF battles.

 The Rise of the Mahdi Scenarios:

1) First Battle of El Obeid - Dec 1881 Egyptian vs. Ansar

2) Second Battle of El Obeid (or Hick's Folly) - Nov 1883 - British lead Egyptians vs. Ansar

3) First Battle of El Teb (or Baker's Teb) - Feb 4, 1884 - British lead Egyptians vs. Beja

4) Second Battle of El Teb - Feb 29, 1884 - British vs. Beja

5) Battle of Tamai - March 13, 1884 - British vs. Beja

6) Siege of Khartoum - ~May 1884 - Ansar sieging British lead Egyptians

7) The Battle of Abu Klea - Jan 17, 1885 - British vs. Ansar

8) The Battle of Kirbekan - Feb 10, 1885 - British vs. Ansar

9) The Battle of Tofrek - March 22, 1885 - British vs. Beja/Ansar

Reasonable set of rules, but marred by lack of a QRS. Not really sure why it is a VSF set when it appears to be mostly concerned with the historical activity in the Sudan. Definitely needs a QRS and a statement of raison d'etre. [...]

Very well written and very useful for steampunkish sci-fi or historic gaming. Ivery much look forward to sequels. [...]

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.

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.
