ACW rules help

[Norm]

I have forces similar to what you describe and I think Black Powder and Valour & Fortitude work fine, just keep your brigade sizes small. I would go for 3 regiments rather than 5. For Black powder just increase the point at which a brigade breaks. For V&F use second edition, they are kinder to the smaller table / army.

I recently gave the Perry Valour & Fortitude ACW rules a spin and did a write up on my blog, which may be of interest.

For a One Hour Wargame scenario from Neil Thomas, last week I put down a 6 units V’s 3 unit game of napoleonics on a 4x4 with 28mm. That also has its own blog report.
