Hello everyone ,
With 25mm figures, are there any wargame rules specifically for this or that ACW battle?
Thanks |

Same problem as Napoleonics, Paskal. Do you really want to learn one set of rules for Chancellorsville, then shelve it and learn a different set of Gettysburg? There are many rules geared for particular sizes of battle. My advice would be to choose a size of battle which interests you, then choose among the rules which would let you fight the battle in 25mm on the table you have available. |

I agree with Robert. I cannot think of a land battle in the ACW that was so unique as to command its own rules. |

@All :
Why not to do something ultra precise. But otherwise, real rules for miniatures specifically for this or that battle do not exist?
It's weird. |

is there some game for some other time period that is ultra precise that you like? |

Why not to do something ultra precise. But otherwise, real rules for miniatures specifically for this or that battle do not exist? If you are a gamer, why limit yourself to doing one particular battle when you can have a set of rules that allow you to do dozens? If you are a publisher, why limit yourself to a market of those gamers interested in one battle when you can sell them to a much larger group that is interested in the ACW generally? |

Because I'm more interested in battles than campaigns or wars or periods. |
