Warning this wasn't for skirmish but for 1 base = 1 battalion and if using using Sci-fi rules to game 19th century conflicts offends you stop reading now 

I've used Future War Commander to play the 1859 Italian War of Independance. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanmillicheap/sets/72157622950074405/

As with BKC FWC has enough variables to give the opposing forces flavour ie stubborn, elite, assault and ranged attack values etc

The French had a doctrine where they had to advance but not assault if in Initiative range, the Austrians used Rigid doctrine

I did change the command process however.  Only Brigadiers had to do CV rolls - Divisional & Corp commanders rolled 1 D6 per turn to have a pool of Command Points that could be given to Brigadiers to up their CVs for a command roll

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to source this link.  Yes, looks very playable.  I might try fewer figures per base as Pendraken 10mm are just that bit more personality friendly that 6mm., and skirmish well. Sunray out

Thanks for the link Shedman, these look far more interesting than BP.
