Could someone direct me to a wargame/miniature wargame publication that includes some kind of army lists for the Border Reivers period in the 16th-17th centuries? Thanks in advance. |

Good luck, but I doubt you will find any real lists. Pick up a copy of Fraser's The Steel Bonnets. |

Nobody's even done a small scale/skirmish list? |

Take a look at these rules. They were written precisely for small actions along the border. I'm sure there are suggestions for force make up. link |

There we go, just what I was looking for. Thank you. |

And I am working on a set of rules for the period. Designed for bigger skirmishes. The base game works quite well, I need to eventually finish off some of the special rules (like how to herd animals for those getaways). Drop me a line at mark@scalecreep.com and I'll shoot you a copy of the latest draft. |

Don't forget, sheep are not the same as modern sheep, the flocking instinct is a modern feature. As I understand it, The Reivers often took good herdsmen to manage the captured animals and prevent them bolting.
Animals, then and now, get comfortable with familiar people and location, and are wary of strangers. |
