Greetings, Recently, while going through a box of old books and such, I came across an old set of ACW rules called "Skirmish Line" by Ken Lewis. They were published in 1995 by an outfit called Soldiers of Fortune Flags. I remember playing them and really liking them. Does anyone know what has become of the author? Apparently, Soldiers of Fortune Flags became Soldiers of Fortune Hobbies. They have been "on hiatus" since 2008. I am considering rewriting/re-editing them at least for my own use and would like to get in touch with Ken to let him know what I'm doing. Frank Frey

Frank, if you do get permission to re-work the rules, please keep us posted here.

Will do…they're basically a good set of rules that could do with some serious editing and rewriting.

I do believe the author is a friend of mine as he and some others had a flag company business way back then. He will be at Nashcon. I'll see if it is a rules st he authored.

Ask him if he's got a copy – I don't own this one and would buy one for the collection…
