Hello All,
I'm looking for regimental level ACW rules that use the ground scale of 1"=40 or 50 yards. I'm already aware of Johnny Reb and A Union So Tested. Are there any others?Thanks for the help.

Regimental F&F is 1 to 25 I think but its a good game as well |

Regimental Fire & Fury. Great system and clearly written. |

RF&F is indeed a great set of rules, and is perfectly playable at 1" = 50 yards by simply adjusting the movement and ranges. You'll have to physically halve the number of stands, but I would still "count" them as double (i.e. the original amount) in order to keep the math of the game intact. That's how I've done it, and it works fine. Not a direct answer … but I've also been using home rules to adopt Crusader Games "March Attack" Napoleonic rules for the ACW at this scale – works great! Cheers, Christopher |

Curious as to why that particular ground scale? Is it to fit in a larger battle? |

Black Powder is a good system. I like Fire and Fury too. |

Curious as to why that particular ground scale? Is it to fit in a larger battle? Correct. I already have a rules set for 1"=25 Yards. I'm looking for a rule set that I can use with all the great 1"=50 Yards scenarios available. I tried "A Union So Tested" and thought it was Ok, but I was wondering if anything else was available. It must also be fast play, so I can use it to run games at CON's. Bryan |

Fire and Fury is 1"=25YDS |

Regimental FnF is 1" to 25 yds
Brigade FnF is 1" = 40 or 60 yds – plays faster than RFnF and forces more Generalship thinking and less a colonel.
If your the scenario designer make your scenario rule for what ever rules you prefer to use to make fit/work and proceed. Why do we forget rules are guidelines and not a law….

Call to the Colors. I designed it specifically for 4 to 5 hour time slot at conventions. It is 1-35 ground scale, but I have used it at 1 – 50 for some scenarios. Works fine. It is FREE at the yahoo group. link Fred Ehlers |

Try the rules that are free on the CHARGE website, thay are 1" = 50 yards. Might be able to adapt them? |

What marshalGreg said applies. Danger is getting the mix right. BFF is aimed to sit the player at the Div or maybe Corps command table, while RFF is the brigade/division scale. |

Here is a link to the free rules on the CHARGE website. link |
