With the upcoming release of these miniatures:

I'm wondering if there is a good ruleset to play a small skirmish game with just a couple dozen miniatures?

Or perhaps someone has written scenarios based on scenes from the books?

Sharp Practice of course.

Song of Drums and Shakos is great for a dozen models per side. Good for the early stages of collecting miniatures for Sharp Practice!

Chain Reaction is free and 95th, is a supplement for it.

I want to like Sharp Practice. I love aspects of it, but it is overall not my cup of tea. I have hopes for the new Osprey skirmish rules coming out

Jlundberg, have you tried Sharp Practice 2? A lot of people at my club find it a big improvement.

Though SP is made for considerably more figures than a dozen per side. Song of Drums and Shakoes for me.

Song of drums and shakos every time over my way.

Wargame Dave I have a set of rules where each player controls 7 figs per player if your interested let me know.
each player rolls a die 6 and that is how many figs you can do something with each player does something with 1 fig at a time the player who rolls the lowest moves first then next lowest you can use these for Nap. Acw. FIW Pirates and so forth.

I'll put a word in for 'Song of Drums & Shakos'…
