The Sword and The Flame have generated a whole set of variants which adapt the rules from their original British colonial (and especially Anglo-Zulu War) focus to other historical periods; the names of the variants usually incorporate the words "the Sword", although the variant that simulates the establishment of the White Rajahs in Sarawak is called "The Kris And The Flame". A fantasy wargame variant "Awaken The Storm!" was released in 2007. The title is derived from The Widow at Windsor, a poem by Rudyard Kipling, part of his "Barrack-Room Ballads".

Barrack-Room Ballads Barrack-Room Ballads The Barrack-Room Ballads are a series of songs and poems by Rudyard Kipling, dealing with the late-Victorian British Army and mostly written in a vernacular dialect. The series contains some of Kipling's most well-known work, including the poems "Gunga Din", "Tommy", "Mandalay", and "Danny Deever", helping consolidate his early fame as a poet. The first poems were published in the "Scots Observer" in the first half of 1890, and collected in "Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses" in 1892. Kipling later returned to the theme in a group of poems collected in "The Seven Seas" under the same title.
