Hello everyone,

Please, I am looking for a rule specifically for the 1870-1871 Franco-German war but dating from before 1976, do you know where to find it?

Thanks.

There are quite a few out there.

The term "Franco-Prussian War" might help in your search, it is the most common name for the conflict in English.

Here is a Google search with this term:

There is also this old guide from TMP:

It does depend on the scale of game you are looking for, skirmish, tactical, grand tactical?

I know Wargames Foundry had a set of Franco-Prussian rules to go with their figure range but these were published in the 1980s. 'La Guerre a Outrance' by Stephen Shann and 'Les Gens Braves' by John Mills were also early 80s as well iirc, I'm not sure of any F-P rules from the early to mid 70s.

Thank you all, I'm looking for a rules published before 1976, not after 1975 and for "25mm" miniatures. Please check the years of edition,
