Has anyone here tried Tod Kershner's ACW-brigade-level ruleset, A Fire Bell in the Night? Considering how popular Warfare in the Age of Reason is, I would expect an ACW ruleset from the same team would do pretty well.

With the popularity of Fire & Fury, Black Powder, Johnny Reb, etc., it's hard to make inroads into the ACW period with a new set of rules. We play tested this set a few times and while it had some interesting ideas, there was no compelling reason to change to them from what we've been playing. Some things in the rules worked and there were some that seemed a bit strange to us.
