I don't play colonials but the one from THW was pretty solid. |

I think this question really asks two. Favourite rules and who plays skirmish games. TSATF has long been a classic for single figure grand skirmishes but lots of other games cater to the smaller group of large battle colonial games. |

"The Sword and The Flame" Although for 2nd Boer War we have been using "Fields of Honor" because we play the Boer War at the battalion/commando level. |

Victoria's Battles. TSATF just drags on too long with innumerable dice rolls. |

'Death in the Dark Continent' and an adapted 'Sharp Practice' for large scale skirmishes, a home-brew version of Science v. Pluck for bigger battles. But I think 'Men Who Would Be Kings' is going to become the 'go-to' set of colonial rules when they are released later this year. No connection with them but a great set of rules with some period flavour, designed for 40-100 figures per side but readily up scaled to much larger forces than that. |

Victoria's Secret,… oh wait, I just like that for the pictures! ;) Have played a lot of TSATF, mostly with substantial modifications authored by other players. TSATF holds up to a lot of modification. There's no reason not to replace the melee system with something that plays faster. The normal activation system also doesn't work well for games with a lot of players. I guess at some point the modifications can make it into something other than TSATF. Am about to try a pulpy micro-skirmish loosely based on In Her Majesty's Name. Also hoping to try Congo (Muskets and Tomahawks for Africa). |

With a few minor modifications TSATF works wonders for almost any size game. |
