Washington's Fury

Washington’s Fury provides a fun, simple American Revolutionary War miniatures game that can be played with fifty figures or five hundred figures in about two hours. The rules are geared toward simplicity and ease of play over detail. They attempt to provide a flavor of the challenges met by commanders of the time in a quick, fun and roughly historical game. However, where history meets fun, fun wins.

Scale

Figure scale is not very important. The number of figures per unit is completely up to the player. We tend to like 25 mm figures massed in large units but any scale will work. The rules recommend size conventions based on our preferences but the game mechanics work as long as unit frontage remains proportional to those given in the rules. Unit depth is less important but should be consistent for each type.

If you compare unit frontage to weapon range, a unit roughly represents a regiment. This gives a lot of latitude for tabletop army organization. Generic army lists are provided. They reflect our vision of how to represent the armies within the game system. They are by no means exhaustively researched orders of battle. Please alter the lists to your own liking.
