...are the three maxims "Only cheat when no one is watching", "Never take tactical advice from EB" and "Watch out for Indians in trees"?

Surely redundant. No-one would be that stupid.

Partly to help me during the games, and partly in an attempt to learn the rules, I've created a one-page A4 quick reference sheet for The Men Who Would Be Kings. The one I found on the Osprey website was pretty useless, so I've tried to include everything needed.

Not sure if this will work, but here's the link in case anyone would like to download a copy: https://themedetianwars.org.uk/wp-conte ... n-2023.pdf

If it's a bit 'small print' I can try to alter it to print across 2 sides of A4.

That looks pretty good. You could ask EB to fine tune it and then it would go to 2 sides of A4 anyway...
