I think Matrix should negotiate with Jeff Lapkoff of JeffLapkoffgames for an Age of Rifles type game but with a different name to get around the rights. His Custer game totally reminds me of AOR.

The store shelves are just packed with crap like "Johnny goes to the Zoo" and weekly copies of "Toy Soldier" and "Gangsta Masta", etc..At least Matrixgames has the genre, they just don't have the ears....
RE: Age Of Rifles??
Age of Rifles brings back fond memorys of one of the finest games covering that particular era, the age of the rifle. A game I could never resist taking the losing historical side, refighting it over and over and finally figuring after losing several times the best strategy to that particular situation be Isawandlha or the Little Big Horn battles. A game system you could use to learn something of the history of the that interesting period of time without devoting hours and hours of time painting lead figures. What else can I say its a game the covers an era of military history that is my view a sorely neglected area.
RE: Age Of Rifles??
Age of Rifles is a classic I still play. It may have been released back in 1996 but people are still designing scenarios and mods for it today.
P.S. You can find some of my recent AoR scenarios here.

redcoat,, thanks for the AOR scenario lead...
check out my post in the other AOR thread,, there is a new Nappy mod avalable as well.. just within the last few weeks or so...
check it out here.. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/age ... s/messages
to get sound,, you need the original disk,, I am not sure if a disk image works.. but you can find the image kicking around the net,,, then use a mount cdrom command in dosbox,and mount\install the disk,and you can get sound.

There is now a new version of Age of Rifles available on the Yahoo Group which has DosBox integrated into it and which runs sound and all with no problems on Windows 10. Here is a Dropbox link to download it. You will need something like WINRAR to unpack it though. Once this is done just click on the "START THE GAME" icon to launch, and make a shortcut from this.

Not been able to play it since 2004 when I upgraded to XP and only got it back a couple of days ago
Enjoy

Thanks for the link. I LOVED AoR but have not been able to play it for years.

Awesome game, for sure needs updated.

Great download. Just unpack and play. It even has my old scenarios - which I lost in a computer crash years ago.

Is anyone able to provide another link? I would love to have a try at this again.
Many thanks.

RE: Age Of Rifles??
I helped playtest Age of Rifles. I think that was one of Norm's best games (with the possible exception of Operational Art of War). I too hope someone will publish something along the lines of AOR. Loved playing it.
RE: Age Of Rifles??
A decent tactical-turn based game set in the XVIII and XIX century... still a dream [:(]
RE: Age Of Rifles??
I checked out a game play video on YouTube. I do recall seeing screenshots of some game that has similarities to Age of Rifles: hexes, formations, rifles... Game in question could be about American Civil War. Didn't memorize the name.ORIGINAL: HudsonGame

Found 2 close match:

Could those be what you're looking for?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.
