Is there a half-scale (15mm) playsheet for British Grenadier available ? |

Do you mean the rules sheet? I believe the rule book simply says to convert all measurements of inches to centimeters, though we use 15mm figures and use the rules as written, otherwise the ranges would be ridiculously short. |

Played many games with 15mm figures using 28mm ranges and movement – works well, especially if they are small games with a few big units. |

Actually, the rule book says halve the distances, which is not the same as converting to cm. I confess I hadn't considered using the existing distances … |

Which rule book are you going by? |

I've played using 28mm movement but 15mm ranges, even then the musket range was probably too long in our game (this depends entirely on what figure ratio you use) overall this idea of mixed measuring worked well as a game. We reasoned that halving everything would make the game too slow to get formations into action. |

We use the normal ranges, even with a 20:1 ratio, and it plays fine. The ranges and figure ratio are the same in Johnny Reb, so no big deal to us. |

The deluxe hardback. Right at the bottom of page 9 |

I can see that using the book movements and ranges with 15mm figures will be fun, but has anyone produced an unofficial 2 page QRS rather than the 4 page ‘thing' currently available ? |

I find even the four pager doesn't contain all the importan info, as I'm always diving into the rules book. |
