The Little Wars TV channel has new fast-play AWI rules for sale.
Is anyone looking at these rules. It is pricey for a short rule set but money is going to the American Battlefield trust. |

Ironically enough I placed an order for them last night. I believe they are called "Live Free or Die", nothing seemed particularly ground breaking and different mechanics seemed like ones I had seen in other rulesets. That being said, I liked how the different mechanisms worked with each other. The one thing that may be a turnoff is the number of stands one needs for battles. It seemed like a decent amount but maybe not. I will order the PDF scenario book too. |

I bought both. Supports the Battlefield Trust so that's good. The rules look solid. Won't know more until we play them. I also was not excited about the unit sizes. I may play around with it. I prefer 3 or 4 stand units for my 1/72 20mm figs. The scenario book looks pretty nice. Lots of scenarios covering the war. 2 scenarios for Monmouth. Early and later ones. Thanks John |

They have a video up with a play through. Reminds me of ‘Loose Files and American Scramble', except I don't recall seeing a variable movement system like ‘Loose Files'. |

I'm wondering if they would work for the ACW with some minor tweeks. Mainly because I already have hundreds of stands of 15/18mm ACW troops. |

They will work its just a game mechanics. depends how much historical input is included. but then there's fire and fury regimental and brigade system readily available |

From what I've seen, I'll stick with the original Loose Files! |

I'll look forward to some AARs on this one. |

I actually was impressed by the time and thought they put into it. On their Patreon they have hours of discussion about the development of the. Quite interesting from a rules perspective. Thanks John |

Looks good. I bought the hard copy. I'm looking forward to some variants! Might be easily adapted to SYW and early NAP. |

Is the hard copy available at this time? L.W.'s website states that it would not be ready for mailing until the 27th of September. It is now October.
