Options for gangster games?

[traveller]

I have so far used One-Hour Skirmish Wargames (OHSW) for gangster games but I would like some more specialized rules for this genre. Is The Chicago Way the best ruleset or are there other options? Grateful for any insights and comments!

If I may be so bold, my own rules for gang warfare, Mean Streets: War in Gang-infested Cities, has rules for "Peaky Blinders" type action. Although written for a romanticized look at street gangs (aka "The Warriors"), there are rules for a variety of firearms.

They're $20 print, $10 PDF, so an easy price point to take a look and maybe use as inspiration for your own ideas. Because us wargamers have never bought a set of rules we thought we might no use, right?

Thanks Mike, they look fun but I am more after the 1920s vibe. The Chicago Way look great for that purpose but I was just curious if there are other similar well developed systems for that period. I will get back to you once I get bitten by the Warriors bug again

I like Mad Dogs with Guns by Howard Whitehouse.  Now published by Osprey (though I use the original edition).

Thanks! Have to look into that one

I agree with Mad Dogs with guns. I especially like their combat rules.

Thanks, it would be interesting to understand how they compare to The Chicago Way

Mean Streets: War in Gang-infested Cities, has rules for "Peaky Blinders" type action.

And they include some photos of my miniatures, so they must be okay.

Why yes they do! And thank you once again for your generosity in lending your artistry to my endeavor!
