As a continuation of the first ACW Black Powder Ruleset I did:

I have made Version 1.1 available:

I have finished and reworded major portions of the infantry write up for the ruleset. I have included some artillery and their stats.

Also, I have a couple of questions to ask and welcome any suggestions for implementation:

Would it be feasible to field a battery of cannons (four for Confederate six for Union) as I did in the v.1.1 of the rule set or as a single individual guns as in the main rules?

Could a rule be implemented to reflect the importance of capturing the flag? I have something thought out but would like some opinions on the matter.

Any other ideas for inclusion would be most welcome!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Thank you,

Jorge

Looks useful, but why the morale save of 3+ for green infantry, I would have expected it to be 5+

Sorry, typo, will correct. It should be 4+; I think 5+ is too low a morale value for trained formations; 5+ mobs and such untrained troops. Uploaded corrected copy.

Thanks,

Jorge
