Hey there. I am keen to build some forces for the 1866 -1871 period in Europe. I want to run games where a brigade is about the most a player would use, maybe a division for multiplayer. I want to run small scenarios that can be part of bigger battles. Something like General De Brigade but for the post 1850 period any suggestions? FM

I would look at those available from Wofun games. They are a free download so the entry cost is very reasonable.

Black Powder?

There is a General de Brigade variant called "There Are Your Guns" which is just what you're looking for. Covers 1816-1897. Units are battalions of 16-48 figures. Summary: link Black Powder will also work: link
