Ghost, if you think it will be easy for all LAFers who don't speak French to just use a Google Translate on your post, please consider going to the more polite and gentleman's way like we use to do things here, and use the translator yourself to post here in English, thank you very much!

What ?! Does not everyone speak French ?!

So here is the translation :

"Hello Askellad,

First of all congratulations for your conversions, you had to think about these assemblies!

I am also interested in skirmishes in this universe and I thought about these rules :
- In her majesty's name
- pulp alley
- savage core

I bought, read but have not yet played the two first of them : the second would be in my opinion more suitable because more "pulp". Both allow to create some gangs of your own and to use vehicles (for pulp alley you have to buy supplements to have all the rules. However, downloading them is not very expensive ...)
The 3rd should be released soon at Lucid Eye Publications : lucid eye previously released minis of neanderthal men, amazons, Atlanteans, ... all races that will encounter at the Earth core in this future game. The universe is similar to pellucidar, by Burroughs, so I hope that it will be possible to use these rules for a Barsoom project and create some new gangs.

I bought some Tinman minis : they are fine and their quality is very good."

What ?! Does not everyone speak French ?!

Shocking, but true. I, myself, speak only a few words of lingua Franca, though my poor benighted fellows think that means 'English.' 

Your patience and good humor are a shining light to us all. We all wish you the best in your search for suitable-to-your-needs rule set.

However, I will point out that the '.de' means we should all speak 'auf Deutsch.'

PS Given my VERY limited vocabulary in German, breath-holding is contra-indicated.

Rules:

In Her Majesty's Name - I like many of Craig Cartmell's other rules sets but I don't see much to recommend the actual rules here. I would look to his CROM or his Napoleonic Skirmish rules http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/47/01/40870147/documents/Over%20the%20Hills%20and%20Far%20Away.pdf

Pulp Alley - an excellent choice for small warbands but not suitable for more than 20 figures (I stand corrected - I have only played the basic game)

The Men Who Would Be Kings - My first choice since it covers colonial and native forces and firearms. It doesn't include vehicles or dueling

En Garde - Cover dueling (IIRC) and small units. No vehicles. Basic firearms.

Songs of.... - Might be a good choice. Start with their ACW or Drums and Tomahawk rules.

Pulp Alley can handle more figures if you use the "gangs" and "crew" rules. Guns and vehicles can have a multi-figure crew, which acts as a single character. A gang of 5 or 6 figures acts as a single character. There were 61 figures in the Return to the Island of the Crocodile God game that I ran 3 times in the last 3 weeks. One player ran 45 figures, 40 of them in gangs which acted as 8 characters, and the other 4 players controlled 4 figures each.

Holy Moly! Those are really quite well done.
Victrix is going to love you for buying all those kits just for the heads.

[Askellad]

Only bitz ! I used the bodies for Song of shadows and dust gang henchmen !
