What is Once Upon a Time in the West Indies
This small booklet, 36 pages, is an expansion for Once Upon a Time...In the West Country. The players need to supply miniatures, terrain, dice, etc. This game is strictly for skirmish wargaming, meaning one figure represents one person.
The game contains "cinematic" expansion rules for miniatures gaming with 17th-century swashbuckling pirates and musketeers, as seen in the movies. Figures are defined as either Leading Players, Supporting Actors, Bit Parts or Extras. A Leading Player can mow through a lot of Extras without even slowing down, but combat between two characters of the same level is tense and more drawn out.
Rules are also given for two types of stunts: Deeds of Derring-Do and Dramatic Entrances. Very entertaining!
The game provides two large scenarios - "Scripts," they call them, in keeping with their cinematic theme. One scenario is for pirates and the other for musketeers.
