Is there a pdf available of the rules or does it only come physically with WI - couldn't see it on their website

The PDF is free for digital subscribers. Cheaper to buy the mag than the rules alone.

Cheap deal here

There's a PDF available here (you have to choose it in 'Format'):

Edit: Buff beat me to it :oops:

The rules look strong enough to be translatable to Italian Wars, I'm looking at them for 1544 and there's a Farcebook group looking at variations.

But yes, you can easily put your own cards and tokens together. Personally I hate the acrylic tokens with anything except perhaps sci-fi, they just look too modern, so I'll used some paper prints for a play test and if the rules survive I'll make up a bunch of scenic bases for the tokens.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

The walkers and climbers were all great, the people who ran the hotel were complete turds.
All in all though, looking across a snow covered Rannock moor on a crystal clear morning...........
Yep. Many years ago, when mountains were a lot emptier, a mate and myself did the ice walk around Ben Starav, Full kit, ice-axes, crampons, etc. Stripped to the waist as the reflected sunshine was so warm. Stopped and had a dram, looking West down 3000 feet into the sea loch,

We'd watched the only other climber some way behind us, who stopped, assembled a hang glider and launched himself off the side of the mountain. Couple of belts of a single malt, glorious sunshine, pristine white world, watching this guy soaring in the thermals. That's an experience I will carry for the rest of my days.

Ok, I put a bid in for the eBay auction, as I have been looking for a period set. And a cross between Lion Rampant and Sharp Practice sounds pretty good to me. (I don't mind the 'rampant' series, but they lacked a little bit of depth for my taste.)
