Are there any published rules for WW1/WW2 or black powder periods for 54mm plastic figures?

My dad has written quite a few very simple but fun rules for his extensive 54mm plastic toy soldier collection. They aren't published but I've always found anything he comes up with to be pretty fun. If you're interested I might be able to get some word docs with some of his rules to email to you.

TVAG has a set out along the lines of the old H G Wells for toy soldiers. Can't seem to find my copy at this moment ? frown

Check out the Two Hour Wargames skirmish rules for various periods. They describe using 28mm figures, but there are guys on the mailing list that use 1/6 scale Dragon figures. At 1:1 ratio, they're perfect for larger figures. Just adjust your scales upwards for the larger figures.

I bought a set at a convention called "Glenn's Rules for Plastic Army Men", or something like that. I never read it, and may still have it.

For Rev war and there abouts…the rules from All The Kings Men are free and well received at the cons I've been to:

If you like, I'll post you my home rules that I use for that period and scale. Two pages skirmish rules work quite well.
My email is sgtjj at hotmail.
