FREIKORPS: Horse & Musket Skirmish

A straightforward set of combat rules for skirmishing, adventuring and derring-do in the age of Gentleman, Gunpowder & Grenzer, suitable for the wars of the 17th century in all theatres of conflict.
For all those who have received these rules in text form, I am posting the charts from the rules so that the charts may be formatted correctly. These rules are available FREE via e-mail, just ask.
