Volley Fire 2mm Rules

Rules 18th CRules 19th C

Volley Fire is a set of 2mm wargames rules,

designed for lots of volley firing infantry with rifles, horse and cannon. It is meant for simplicity, so ignores morale and commanders and such likes, but maintains a certain amount of realism in certain areas. These can be written in at a later time. I’m very open for suggestions. Anyhow, on with the tour!

Each player has an army consisting of several companies of infantry or cavalry, and batteries of artillery. Infantry companies are made up of one to five platoons, cavalry of a similar number of squadrons, each of which is represented by one strip of models. Artillery batteries consist of a similar number of guns. Units can be either Close order (c.o.) or skirmishers.

Led Shot - Shot Nervz 1770 - 1815 Skirmsh Rules

Rules 18th CRules 19th C

Led Shot - Shot Nervz is a set of free wargames rules for skirmishes in the American Revolution - Napoleonic - War of 1812 era. The author writes:

These are skirmish rules designed for 3 to 6 figures per player. My reading of this period is that skirmishes often resulted in few if any deaths. Hence if you like your games bloody you should probably try another set. They were written to play games at my club where we always play multi players per side and they probably work better when played that way rather than with one person on each side.

About the Miniature Wargaming Hobby

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.

The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.

Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

For pictures, visit the gallery.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
