I was wondering if there is a game where 1 stand equals 1 regiment? |

Brigade Fire and Fury should work. |

Volley and Bayonet, in my opinion. F&F is 1 stand equals 150-200 men. On to Richmond is one stand equals 300 men. DBACW would work. I think it is 1 stand equals a brigade, but you could call it a regiment and it should still play okay. |

A Union So Tested: Look, Sarge, No Charts: American Civil War -> link DBACW -> link (just under DB Colonial) |

Remember regiments in the ACW vary hugely in size--worse even than brigades. You can SAY "stand=regiment" but at some point you're going to have to decide "stand=X many men" consolidate small regiments and divide large ones, or you're going to have some very peculiar-looking stands--as witness John Hill's Across a Deadly Space which is "stand=regiment" but varies the stand size with the strength of the unit. Not familiar with Union So Tested or Zouave II. I'd say V&B and OTR are the constant-frontage rules with the stands closest to regimental strengths. |

Volley and Bayonet for sure As to Robert's point, very germane – an regiment could be between 1,000 and 100 men depending on how long it had served |

Volley and Bayonet is the only major rules set I know of that's one stand = one regiment, or you can play it at one brigade = 1 stand. |
