Name: Warmaster Revolution
Available from: https://www.wm-revolution.com/articles/download.html The Revolution ruleset is only available as a pdf to my knowledge.
Period: Fantasy, more specifically the Warhammer Old world.
Scale rules designed for: 10mm
Tactical level: 3 stands make a regiment but generally focus is on brigade of up to 4 regiments.

This is the original Warmaster rules with additions/alterations made by the French and Czech Warmaster communities to incorporate elements from Warmaster Ancients rules as well as a few other changes to aid game balancing.

Steve Holmes beat me before I could beat my own drum, but yes, Irregular Wars: Conflict at the World's End would work easily. However, there are so many good sets of rule out there that can be used without modification. Here are a couple:

Name of rules: Dux Bellorum

Period: Late Roman-Early Medieval (AKA Arthurian or Dark Ages)

What tactical level is the game aimed at (eg, platoon, company, battalion, division)? Small armies of 5-12 bases where each base = 1 warband.
What amendments/adaptations are required to play these with 10mm miniatures? None. Basing is flexible already, so the rule of cool applies - do whatever looks good!

Very useful topic, Leon, but just thinking, "Should this not be in the Rules section?"

Thinking if someone is new to 10mm (or even veterans like a good many of us) and wondering what wargame rules would be good for this scale, when they access this forum, wouldn't they logically search the Rules section first and not the General Discussion section?  :-\
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

It probably should but I wasn't sure if it would get as much traffic as it has here in General Discussion.  The resulting pdf will be in the Rules section and I can move this thread over there as well once we've released the first edition.
