Okay, so, looking at the Two For Tea rules (found PDF link ), I've got a couple of questions. First, is there any support available for them, forums, yahoo groups, blog posts about them? Secondly, has anyone thought to convert the rules for use in the ACW?

On just a quick skim of the rules, I don't think these would be good for ACW without so much modification that you might as well write your own rules.

I assume you accidentally put this on the ACW forum and not on the one for AWI…?

As these are Warmaster Ancients-based rules, you can find (limited) discussions on the historical-warmaster Yahoo forum. Bob Barnetson was on there when I was a member.

I actually meant to put it on both, as I'm looking for info about the rules as well as thoughts on converting them to the ACW.

With regard to the ACW I'm with rmaker here. There are lots of good rules written for the ACW at this level, why try and shoe horn these rules to fit a period they aren't designed for?

I guess it seems to me that there is little about the rules that actually makes them 'period-specific', it seems they would work for any sort of horse and musket game. You would have to write up new army lists obviously, but the basics are there to be used.
