RESTLESS NATIVES is a set of fast-play Colonial wargames rules designed so that two or more players can fight an interesting battle to a conclusion in under two hours on a 4-foot x 3-foot (120cm x 90cm) tabletop battlefield using approximately two hundred 15mm scale figures. The rules incorporate several novel features. These include the use of a standard pack of playing cards to determine the order in which units can move, fire, and take part in close combat; the use of Special Event Cards that the players can use to gain extra movement, firepower, close combat effectiveness, or to rally troops that have failed a morale test and have fled from the battlefield; and the use of the Jokers to determine when players must hand back any unused Special Event Cards and when the battle will end. The rules are suitable for both novice and experienced wargamers. They produced fast and furious battles, where the results were often in the balance right the way though until the end, and where the fortunes of one side or the other could literally change with the turn of a card.
