I just thinking in the rulesets designs for 10mm miniatures, the list that came to my mind is

- Warmaster
- Warband
- Dropzone commander
- Hordes and heros
- (blietzkrieg commander / cold war commander / future war commander) ??
- Guns and colours

Do you know more games specifically design for 10mm?

WWII rules from 20 odd years ago written for 1/200

All the games put out by Kallistra are for 10/12mm figures.

Johnny Reb III had specific playsheets and stand requirements for 10mm, especially as John Hill's own ACW armies were 10mm.

I thought kallistra have space dreadnought (not in scale) and hordes and heros. Are there others?

Kallistra also have a fantasy set, a Medieval/Ancients set and a WWI set. See their website. The rules are free.

IABSM   They did all the playtesting in 10mm. The only reason they did make it an official 10mm scale is that there wasnt tank and infantry model range there is now

I think Battlefront by F&F was all playtested in 10mm as well
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Does BOFA count or is that still Warmaster?

Whatever the latest Spartan Games land game is...That is all 10mm I think

Dystopian Legions? Or is that the bigger skirmish level  one?

Battletech a "clicky tech"  Mechwarrior minis game was 10mm IIRC. Although I always picture the allegedly 1/285th Battletech minis as about 10mm :)

That is right,

Kallistra rulesets based on hex are:

Raging Empires WWI

Heros and hordes (fantasy, hisotorical and siege)

Black Powder and Pike & Shotte both work excellently in 10mm. We use either cms instead- or 2/3s of the customary inches.

We played our Nieuwpoort game with Pike & Shotte.

Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

I use cm with BP if 6mm or 10mm, some people halve everything, and some leave it the same. All work, although sticking with the original measurements can make firing ranges look too long.

We use Pike & Shot (with the "& Blenheim Palace" amendments from Last Hussar) for early ish horse & musket, and now Maurice. Pointy stick warfare we've been using Impetus at the club (80mm bases as for 15mm), and also Fire & Furia Francese for the Crimea.

None are explicitly designed for 10mm but all work very well and look very good!

I'm not keen on substituting cm for inches and use my own 2/3rds and half scale Quick Reference Sheets for BP (can e-mail if you wish). I think I may have got the idea from the BP forum (so could try there also). Also have my own 2/3rds QRS for FoB2 (had to compromise with some ranges however, particularly musketry). Any rule set with BW (base widths) for measurements may be used also (e.g., Maurice).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That is interesting. Did not know about the existence of this wargame.

How many pages have those books? and.. could you tell us a little bit about how the games works/ mechanics/ rules engine ?
