I am looking for a set of ECW compatible skirmish rules. Emphasis on fun and simplicity. Anyone got any bright ideas? Ta Andy Watkins |

Always go back to "Once upon a time in the west country" and it's expansions for skirmishes in the British Civil Wars. |

Seconded "Once upon a time in the west country"; hard to beat system! |

Thirded (?) Can also use 'Gloire' for a more role playing oriented (and few figures) game. Scripted mini-scenarios could be used to form a campaign for your 'hero' and his/her merry, or dour, band. |

Interesting, never thought of them :) I will check them out. |

"Once upon a time in the west country". Fourthed? "Gloire" from Rat Trap is more detailed but also fun. Finally, "Blood and Swash / Thunder and Plunder" by Buck Surdu and Christopher Palmer |

Once upon a time in the west country. Fantastic simply set of rules. Had some real great games with them. Funnist was the game where the dismounted 3/4 plate cavalry guy walked down the centre of a village street with a grenadoe. With every one firing at him. He made it tossing the grenade into the objective and it failing to go off.
It was funny to us! |

Hey, anyone 'backdated' Once UPon a Time, or other for 16th century? Looking at running a Border Reivers game and I'm struggling to find rules… |
