Hey all,
After falling in love with Tsuba Miniatures' Russo-Japanese War range, I'm thinking I want to play a skirmish level or maybe platoon level game with not just infantry, but some cavalry as well. Are there any rulesets that would recreate this scale of the period effectively?
Looking forward to your responses! |

People are adapting Chain Of Command and What A Cowboy from the Too Fat Lardies for this type/period of game. Through The Mud And The Blood would be a good out of the box option also from the Too Fat Lardies. There is also Scum Of The Earth from Nordic Weasal Games on Wargame Vault which could be adapted. Neil Thomas' Wargaming The Nineteenth Century could be adapted too for larger small battles. |

Sharp Practice will be too deadly. The other options suggested sound useful. |

You could use The Men Who Would Be Kings? |

For skirmish games you could use Combat Patrol. |

One Hour Skirmish Wargame Rules would cover the period. |

I was thinking of using The Men Who Would Be Kings myself. |

The Men Who Would Be Kings for me as well |

There's a couple of options in the Chris Peers stable for the early 20th century: Although Contemptible Little Armies 2nd edition, which I have, is pitched at larger actions, apparently the US 3rd edition was modified to down-scale it for skirmish games. Chris himself published a true skirmish WW1 set called 'To the Last Man', using the game engine of his 19th century set 'A Good Day to Die'. |
