Smooth&Rifled out before the end of 2011

Ok, few posts lately, but I was pretty busy with with the release of the fourth supplement for Impetus (Extra Impetus 4) and the new issue of Dadi&Piombo magazine.

Now the good news. Before the end of the year I plan to release the first version of Smooth&Rifled.

It will be a pdf, full colour, with a nice layout. I'm thinking to make it in A5 format as it works nice both for pc and for tablets.

The cost of the rules will be 8 euros, but with 8 euros you don't buy just this first edition but all the future versions.
Once a new version has been released you will receive the link for the free download.
Also if you have already taken SPAM, the 3.50 euros will be discounted.
This is a way to support the game evolution.

I'm pretty excited about this project and plan to publish a sample page of the forthcoming rules soon

S&R demo at DADICOM 2011

The past week end saw the return of DADICOM, the biggest wargames show for southern Europe. The first 10 editions of the show took place in Crema, near Milan. After 1 year of stop (due to the lack of support from the local administration), DADICOM moved in the Republic of San Marino.
Here a picture of the Smooth&Rifled demo.

A gallery of the show is available at this LINK

FIW supplement released

This free PDF includes beta lists and additional rules that allow you to play The French and Indian War using SPAM mechanics.

Please note that this is a first draft. Comments and ideas to improve this set are welcome. Join now the S&R YAHOOGROUP or enter the FORUM.

SPAM available

Dadi&Piombo 45 has been released and it includes "SPAM", the simplified version of Smooth&Rifled.

You can purchase the whole magazine or just the pdf of the pages including "SPAM" at this LINK

SPAM coming soon

SPAM stands for Siam Pronti Alla Morte (We're Ready to Die, from the Italian national anthem) and it is a kind of basic/beta version of Smooth&Rifled.
Rules are simplified but give an idea of the mechanics of game.

SPAM will be available in the forthcoming issue 45 of Dadi&Piombo (out in around a week) and for those who are not interested in purchasing the magazine, the pages of the rules will also be available as a separate pdf (at 3.5 euros).


Though written for the Italian Wars of Independence (Risorgimento), SPAM works for about every other 18th-19th Cent. conflict, once you have the right troop statistics.

The release of this playable "draft" is to allow us to share the general mechanics of the game so that we can develop it also with your help, above all for the making of the lists. Contributes are very welcome in the FORUM.

Keep tuned. SPAM will be available very soon!
