Not much to game … I think less than 10 people were killed on both sides of the conflict (gov't troops and rebels) -- and three were killed by accident. A couple of very minor skirmishes, but no stand-up fights. |

Shays had a bit more fighting. But really, both would have to be gamed as political confllcts, not military. |

Use Sharp Practice and turn most hits into shock. That way you'll get firing and results but precious few losses. Say every 5th (or 10th) hit is an actual hit, the rest are just shock: "someone is SHOOTING at us". While you're at it, pour one for me. Hmm, play that and have each player do shots during the game… who needs command and control rules? |
