I liked the overall concept, but thought the combat system a bit too simplistic for a skirmish game.

If I ever get round to doing Border Reivers, I plan to use the LOTR Strategy Battle Game with the adaptations published in Wargames Journal:

WJ also published a set of rules called Hot Trod & Red Hand:

Thanks for posting the Hot Trod rules.  The set has some good period flavor (not generic) without being overly complicated.

Thanks for posting these, I bookmarked the first link and now I see there's more!

I'm working on my own Border Reiver project, and more to read always means that things happen faster  lol
