Other than General de Brigade; what are rules for 1:20 ratio units? I play Fire and Steel, but I am thinking about updating. |

The Peter Gilder originals, which I think Pete Morley at Elite has updated link But GdB is a good set, highly regarded |

Wasn't Column, Line and Square 20 to 1? (how is that for updating??) |

Yes, "Column, Line, and Square" was set at a 1:20 ratio. Jim |

Republic to Empire. Black Powder is often played with those ratio units too. |

David Brown's new General d' Armee rules have a 1:20 scale. We are really liking these rules. Sam Mustafa's LaSalle rules are also at that scale. Mark |

Ignoring the figure:man ratio for a moment, the same sized units that you use for GdeB can be used for Avalon Hill's Napoleons Battles (NB). Rather than the model unit representing a single battalion, in NB the same unit becomes a brigade, enabling you to play some of the big battles of the era, on a 9' x 5' table. The nominal ratio is 1:120 for infantry and 1:80 for cavalry. |

Neither Lasalle nor General d'Armee mandate a particular man to figure ratio (and a good thing too). You can play them with whatever number of figures in a unit you like. |

General d'Armee was designed using 1:20 units |
| JMcCarroll | 10 Jan 2019 4:24 p.m. PST |
The old " fire and Steel " rules used 20 men to one SP. |

I have a play version of Empire V to a 1;20 establishment. Carnage n Glory II will also work for those sized battalions.
