From Lexington to Yorktown

I have recently been on a simplification crusade, and here is the result. Each of these sets is two pages long and has the same turn sequence and basic mechanics. The troop scales and details however emphasize what I believe are the important differences between the periods they represent. I based the combat mechanics loosely on the WRG 1685-1845 rules: You add up combat points for units in melee and the chance to hit the enemy depends on whether you have more, the same, or fewer points.

Scale

This is a game of warfare during the American Revolution using 20-25mm size model soldiers. Each model = 20 infantry in 2 ranks (or a clump of skirmishers), 15 cavalry in 2 ranks, 4 artillerists, or 1-2 cannon. 1” = 15 paces (about 12 yards). Time scale is undefined.
