What rules sets are folks using to play skirmish games in this era? I'm especially interested in whether anyone is using Sharp Practice.
If I decide to invest in this period, it would probably require some years before I purchase enough lead to have a full battle, so I'd like to start out small. |

Pikeman's Lament. I have just enough to play it, that's enough for me. Not really a Sharpe's Practice fan. |

Donnybrook is another set useful for all sorts of 17th and early 18th century skirmishes. |

I plan on using Rebels and Patriots for the War of Spanish Succession. |

My gut instinct is to say: NO DICE? No dice.
But I'll take a look at 1 hour set since two of you have recommended it. |

"No dice"
What he actually means is no dice but cards instead, Playing cards are used to provide the random element. |

@MajorB I saw that from looking at the rules, but I LOVE dice, buckets and buckets of them lol. That's why I said no dice, but I do like the basic mechanics of the game. |
