Recently there has been a lot of WW2 French kit on my blog - including some ships. <br />The 20mm figures are mostly metal castings from FAA, Hotspur, Skytrex and Raventhorpe. A few are conversions. My French WW2 'army' currently stands at 18 divisions!

This can cope with multi-corps battles in a couple of hours. For the ACW, have a look at the same author's 'Terrible Swift Rules' which I posted a while back - search under 'ACW'.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-52633673822557033852012-08-07T02:51:19.897+01:002012-08-07T02:51:19.897+01:00The 9th Battalion could, of course, be on some det...The 9th Battalion could, of course, be on some detached duty...<br /><br />I can see why Megablitz has its attractions. Aside from 'Horse foot and Guns', do you know of rule sets with a similar scale for other periods? I'm thinking 19th century...<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-87977997241860977662012-08-06T16:28:32.902+01:002012-08-06T16:28:32.902+01:00Peter Douglas
