Hi Friends
Have you seen fantastic figures of TSUBA miniatures for this period??
What set of rules do you suggest for this period in 28mm?
I don't like single basing figures and I'm not interested in skirmish rules.
Thanks for help. |

Contemptible Little Armies? |

Square Bashing or Great War Spearhead but with fewer figures per base. Depends what level game you are interested in really. |

Piquet's Barrage supplement covers that period, along with the rest of the major early 20th century warfare. Good luck with your project! Eric Burgess

If you are going to base them then may I suggest Square Bashing, Contemptible Little Armies, Battles for Empire or Future War Commander They all work for me See link |

If you don't mind tinkering, you might look at Might and Reason. It's a musket and horse set that with a bit of tweaking might fit your needs. |

The man clearly states 'I don't like single basing figures', and CLA gets suggested… twice! |

CLA doesn't have to have single based figs. Two to a stand will also work. Thanks, John |

Two to a stand will also work You could use Principles of War, it uses element style bases like Impetus. The RJW armies are featured in the army list book. |

Like you I fell for the Tsuba miniatures and don't like skirmish games. I wanted to play games at the brigade and division level. So I organised Japanese regiments of 9 stands each of three figures and Russian regiments of between 9 and 12 stands to represent the fact that Russian regiments were either three or four battalions whereas the Japanese were 3 battalions. I have done a division a side, four regiments each ( although the Japanese will have a Kobi brigade as well), plus up to six batteries (1 stand each), then 4 HMGs for the Japanese and 2 for the Russians. I have written my own rules, very loosely based on the original Fire and Fury – although in truth they now bear only a passing similarity. I haven't played a game yet, but the armies look stunning. |

Yes, Fire & Fury works very well for early twentieth century. I did a 1914 variant. 27-36 man regiments in 28mm must look amazing! |

They look great – I can't wait to get them on the table. You can see a couple of images (albeit rather poor quality images) on my blog. link |

@Stracm Good stuff Any chance of passing your rules on so I can try them out please |

I hope Empress put out some deals on these -they're the most expensive figures in the world!!! |

Shedman, contact me offline at stracmark@gmail.com and we can discuss it. |
goes beyond the straight line.
