Fellow gamers,
I'm starting a 28mm FIW skirmish project, which will begin with wilderness 1:1 RPG/micro-skirmish, and hopefully expand to some small battles involving structures such as cabins and forts.
To that end, I'll be starting with THW's Long Rifle (don't have the rules in-hand yet), and evolving through THW's Muskets & Mohawks. Other rules which have been recommended that I'm considering include This Very Ground, Muskets & Tomahawks, Fire and Steel, The Sword and the Flame (Forest variant), Among the Warparties, Last Argument of Kings, and a look into Flintlock Force on Force (since the core ruleset is the one ruleset that I'm familiar with).
That said, is there possibly one basing standard that would accommodate most or all of these rules? 20mm square? 25mm round? Future expansion into movement trays?
Solo campaign. Most of the figures will be Indian and Colonial irregulars, to start. Individual activation and actions, to start. Unit activations, cabins, cannon, Highlanders, palisades, et cetera to be added later, moving up through the command scale as the accumulation of table-ready figures allows.
28mm FIW basing for both micro-skirmish (man vs. man) and small battles (platoon vs. platoon)? Figure ratio to remain 1:1. Ground scale = approximately figure scale, at least initially. For use with around a dozen figures on the 3' X 3' table, and around forty on the 4' X 6' table.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
