Who would be interested in a new Very British Civil War skirmish level wargame, supported by one best companies out there, with a figure range from one of the best sculptors in the market, artwork from VBCW own artist? Interested want to know more?

Not bothered by a new figures range but always interested in more rules to try out.

I've got more rules than I can shake a stick at and anyway, rules which are specific to a particular genre seem to me to include a lot more padding than actual, innovative rules. There are plenty of rules available which efficiently cover that and many other twentieth century conflicts. For example, for small skirmish games, the very flexible Pulp Alley works fine. Just add your own "chrome" and bells and whistles rather than relying on someone else's interpretation. Having said all that, I'm sure this project will be launched; maybe a Kickstarter is planned. Good luck to all concerned but I'm not looking to learn yet another set of rules, no matter how pretty the production is. DBDD

Flying Lead works fine for me, and I already have 500 figures for VBCW. I am trying not to get more, as cannot get all of these on the table now.

The idea for the new set of VBCW rules involves a low figure count, between 10 to 50 figures per side, character/leader led, themed forces in a scenario drive game. This is to sit alongside the range of books and rules out there at the moment and not replace them in anyway. We is not looking at changing the background and hopefully will increase the appeal of VBCW and add it to a larger platform. The rules or not like Went the Day well or Brigade 38 or in fact any skirmish out there but rather based on more abstracted. The rule mechanics are based of grouped units rather than individuals but the Characters/Heroes/Leader buff and influence the units, think of is like a movie or comic strip with main and minor characters. I hope you like the idea and are as excited by it as I am but please let me know what you think.
