Greetings all, Can anyone recommend to me a set of rules which is at about 1:20 scale and has some granularity but doesn't bog down in rules? FM |

Although not necessarily exactly a 1:20 ratio, Larry Brom's "A Glint of Bayonets" has served us well over the decades. You can get it here: sergeants3.com/19.html# Jim |

Rank & File by Crusader Games is not strictly a 1:20 set, but the rules are hella simple, quick to learn and play, easy to add chrome to (if desired), and units are battalions of 4-10 bases. With 3-4 figs/stand, a 1:20 battalion can have 120-800 men, which is reasonable for the ACW. - Ix |

Guns at Gettysberg was written for 1:20 and I think Dave Brown's new ACW rules, published by TooFatLardies (TFL) are also for 1:20. I imagine They Couldn't Hit an Elephant also published by TFL could be played at 1:20. |

Legendary Wargames were publishing an ACW version of Grand Manner…..not sure if it ever got launched though. It was called Grand Skedaddle. |
