Re: ACW rule book & scenario book
Not for me I'm afraid, but I can't miss this chance to ask something about it, if I may. I assume from the title that this is set at regimental level, so is this a tactical, rather than grand-tactical ruleset? What is the figure:man ratio?

Re: ACW rule book & scenario book
Fire & Fury rules are brigade based. These offshoot rules move the tactical level down to the regiment.
The book explains figures are mounted on stands - 3 infantry, 2 cavalry etc. Infantry & cavalry are at 1:40. A regiment has a variable number of stands 3- 20 to reflect historical unit sizes.
The books are beautiful - lavishly illustrated with miniatures that are used to explain the rules.
The rules themselves are moderately dense & evidently prized by the ACW cognoscenti. I've read but never used them in a game. When we moved to the ACW, I pushed for these but my group went with Pickett's Charge.
So, I thought to get rid of them as I'll never use them.
NO REASONABLE OFFER will be rejected.

Re: ACW rule book & scenario book
Thanks, Donald. I've heard several gamers at my club rave about the AWI regimental variant, and just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. At 1:40 ratio, I don't think they're for me (having written scenarios for British Grenadier at 1:5!), but they do look well-produced - I hope you get a good offer for them.
