First, a big thanks to fellow TMP-er Dave Crowell for his suggestion of a set of rules for 17th Century Highland Clan warfare and second, to Richard Tyson & Graham Harrison for their brillant and FREE Border Reivers Raiding Rules. PDF link I have adapted the rules to accommodate Highland warefare c.1644, which I have a current interest in. The rules go beyond skirmish and cater for mini-campaigns and I strongly recommend them. And that is before you use them for the period they were designed for – the English-Scottish border reiver wars of the 16th Century. TMP link |

I did something many moons ago on the Vendel forum, As I used to game with Richard and Graham I got to play the rules quite a bit and they are ideal for Highland raids or I think it is called the Crearch Nigel Tranters Rob Roy Book has some nice gems on raids and the like in it.
I used the redoubt Highlanders for my games, very wild figures. I just wish someone would bring out a range of figures for the `45 old glory and front rank are looking a bit tired these days

I still use the Border Reivers rules for ECW skirmish as they work very well. |

Thanks for posting that link up. Somewhere I have some rules that were published over two copies of Wargames Illustrated about 8 or so years ago, they were quite good too. |

What would be a fair sized scenario in terms of number of figs? |

Good to find this link, thank you! Also, it could be interesting to learn the answer to the question posted by DukeWacoan just above. Or if anyone knows where there are some scenarios, that could be helpful, too. |
