What rules are you using with these 30mm "toy soldier" minis? I have not yet decided between an accurate, detailed rules or more toy-soldiery rules. All thoughts are welcomed. |

If and when I go fo them, I was considering using The Sword and The Flame |

If I were to do it I'd use something suitably old school most likely something from Don Featherstone. You could go full toy soldier and use Little Wars 😁 |

I'm going to knock up some very simple games rules. I don't think this is the place for complicated rules.. |

You could try one of the versions of Bob Cordery's Portable Wargame for a very short, simple set of rules, or use the more toy soldier style A Gentleman's War by Howard Whitehouse. |

Go OG! HG Wells shoot'em up with matchsticks! With enough old school glossy varnish they won't get all that scratched up! |

As soon as I put another coat of varnish on the Berglander's I'll use One Hour Skirmish Wargames. Looking down the road probably a modified A Gentleman's War or The Portable Wargame. I'm organizing forces using Iron Ivan's SCW set. |

As mentioned, Portable or One hour. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd not heard of the Portable Wargames book so will have a look for it. I had been considering Neil Thomas One Hour Wargames so will look at One Hour Skirmish as well. |

One Hour Skirmish is a completely different game to One Hour Wargames. Different authors too. |

I'm a big fan of Howard Whitehouse's A Gentleman's War: link |

Maybe ospreys
A World Aflame? |

Another vote for A Gentleman's War. There is also Funny Little Wars funnylittlewars.blogspot.com
I wouldn't use either of them for a serious historic wargame, but they would be perfect for a lighthearted fictional romp. |

I've gone to both site and blog and cannot find a link to order or download the rules. Any help? |

Try Amazon to order Funny Little Wars. |

It's there, but listed as ‘currently unavailable' :( |

I'm thinking FUBAR or one of the many One Brain Cell type of rules out there |
