Years back, 2015, at Historicon, the HAWKS were running kid friendly ACW games using rules by Eric Schlegel. Does anyone have a copy of those rules? Or know where to get one? Barring that, any other recommendations for kid friendly ACW rules? |

Rebels & Patriots from Osprey is fast and fun and would be great with kids |

I also want to say battle cry. It is a very fun game and it moves very quick. A really nice board game. It's what I use to introduce video game player to miniature wargaming. Matthew |

One Hour Wargames or Rebels and Patriots would both work well. |

I can check the 2015 Historicon convention program but I imagine they could be a home brew. I know some of the HAWKS had a set that was based on the mechanics of their WW1 home brew set. Might just be easier to contact the HAWKS and find out, they are always incredibly helpful and responsive. Some other sets you could use are the aforementioned OHW by Neil Thomas or the Gettysburg Soldiers ruleset. Both very simple and fun. |

I have used the One Hour Wargame rules with the grandkids when they were 9 and 6 |

Another vote for Rebels and Patriots. |
