Folks, I seem to recall reading that there were supposed to be some simple rules included in the box with the ACW figs? Anyone care to give us a rundown/ overview? |

They are called "Firepower" and the infantry-only rules are in every box of Perry ACW plastics. Simple? I was playing wargames with very similar rules about 40 years ago. They were in Don Featherstone's books. Please note I am NOT accusing them of a rip off, just that there are only so many things you can do to produce a set of dead simple horse and musket rules. If they get people playing, then great! |

The Cavalry rules are (surprise!) in the Cavalry box set. |

Cheers guys. I guess what I was wondering is whether the rules were in any way related to "Black Powder", as described on the Warlord Games website: link |

Where are the artillery rules? |

Yes, the rules are straightforward and break no new ground, but should be enough to have some fun with. I'm going to try and get my Warhammer 40K son to play a game or two with the Perry's to see if I can save him. |

They likely have some plan for that coming soon! Unlikely they forgot about Arty!! |

I understand that the rules are about the same height but a bit slimmer in appearance. If you don't put them side by side with other comparable rules, you can't tell the difference. What the heck…it's Monday! Craig |
