A good set of American Civil War Rules?
(1/5) > >>
Bloodaxe:
Im looking for a good set of american Civil War rules. Any recommendations? Im looking for small scale like 6mm, not too complicated, and readily available in dead tree version. (not out of print) Been thinking of using Baccus 6mm. Advice?
Thank you.

Fire & Fury. You can get through a lot of troops very quickly. When we first started using it I worked out three linked scenarios. My intention was to play them over 3 club nights (3 weeks). We did all three in one evening, with-out breaking sweat. Lots of support stuff (dead tree variety) as well.
Bloodaxe:
Thanks. I'll have to check out F&F. Do you have a link where I can get the rules?
Ive looked at Longstreet. It seems good, but perhaps long. But the idea of cards appeals to me.
Ive also looked at Altar of Freedom, as it got some good rules and seems a pretty short/compact rules set.

I think i found it! http://www.fireandfury.com/products/desc_bff2.shtml
Id like larger battles, smaller miniatures 6mm- so Im thinking Brigade F&F instead of Regimental F&F would be a better fit.

Bloody Big Battles, similar to Fire & Fury but faster and stripped down, uses same basing conventions. Play first day of Shiloh in 9 turns on 3 X 4 foot table. Rules are for 19th century, rule book has Franco-Prussian scenarios but ACW scenarios are on Yahoo group files and every now and then another gets added.

Another vote for Brigade F&F here. Currently play using 15mm, have had some great games.
