Just posted pretty much the same post to the AWI message board. Have a good number of 15mm painted ACW troops. Know Fire and Fury, Volley and Bayonet, not that keen on Johnny Reb. Was hoping to get some rule recommendations. I like a game rather than a simulation. Also like things on a larger scale. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Isn't Longstreet divisional? Fire and fury surely. |

Black Powder works well for it. |

F&F is a favourite of mine, but it isn't a quick game. Black Powder is your best bet, but I've yet to get my hands on Longstreet. |

I always enjoyed F&F. I would love to try Longstreet--Mustafa's recent games have all been good. I would also second the black powder recommendation. |

Another vote for On To Richmond. If you want to do a multi Corps sized battle use a brigade as the base group. |

On To Richmond all the way. Easy to play and easy to teach to others. |

Large scale? Volley and Bayonet. |

Have you looked into Altar of Freedom? it has just been released and the mechanic is really intriguing. Large scale oriented, written for 6/10mm with an easy adaptation for 15mm, especially F&F based. |

Dan 055: thanks for the link-these rules look very interesting! |

61-65 by Ganesha Games a great set of rules well worth checking out. |

Longstreet has replaced Black Powder as my primary ruleset set for ACW. It plays fast and is very easy to teach. Regimental Fire and Fury remains the set I use for a more detailed gaming experience but it works best with players who really know the rules |
completes his initial Union force in 1:72nd scale.
