The best Horse & Musket Rules that appeared as magazine articles

[chalimacos]

In my opinion, these are the best Horse & Musket rules (of those that I've read!) that appeared originally as magazine articles. I rate them mainly for the originality of the ideas presented and playability.  If you have any another favorite, please tell me.

• Simplicity in practice by Neil Thomas (Generic Horse and Musket) — Battlegames #23
• Rules for the mid-eigtheenth century by Stephen Simpson (Jacobite Rebellion, French and Indian war, 7YW) — Wargames Illustrated #75, with scenarios in #134
• The rules with no name by Brian Ansell (Skirmish ACW, Old West) — Wargames Illustrated #105, with optional rules in #106, #114. Also published in MWAN #82
• Aelred Glidden's Napoleonic Rules (Napoleonic) — MWAN #87 with clarifications in MWAN #106

Good one! Original and very influential, indeed.

"Five minutes with EDNA" by Graham Hockley in Wargames Illustrated #38 November 1990.

Not posted as a H&M era scenario but is a generic mechanic so works for it.
