It's all good work. Nicely done, Sir.

A link to the rules on womble67 's blog:

I must say i like the rules a lot, them being free is just a bonus. Being a regular BKC player, i wanted something else than a warmaster based ruleset for my ACW battles, and these fit the bill for me.

Once you get the hang of them, they are simple and give a good game.There is some 'battlefield friction' in there with how morale works, and the way your troops can get fatigued when you push them too much.

an example: you can make your units move at 'the double quick' once, without penalty. Do it twice in a row and you roll a d6 ,1-3 means they get fatigued, and will only move at normal pace untill they get a rest (meaning they don't move for a turn)

Simple mechanics that force you to make choices!

Yup nothing ACW.

But about 150 zombie/future army/civilians
about 220 28mm fantasy
about 100-150 LOTR
a gazillion 6mm epic
+ - 100 gw imperial guard and half a dozen tanks
about 1000 20mm guys for all kinds of things
my 2mm napoleonic armies
and some random stuff like pirates,adventurers, steampunk, pulp minis etc...

I think i'll manage in the meanwhile.

As a matter of fact, i think i'll never manage painting them before the kids graduate

So finally got everything done (well at least everything acw i bought):

Not the best pics, but lighting was poor.

Confederates:


Infantry + command




Skirmishing troops, dismounted cavalry with 'dismounted horse' markers and mounted cavalry



artillery and limbers+ covered wagon




The union army



Infantry + command

Very nice indeed I'm extremely envious of your finished armies mine should be finished next year sometime.

Take care

There's DEFINITELY no such thing as a 'finished' ACE army.

How many ACW infantry do you need?
More than you have.

Can I buy some more artillery?
Only if you buy more infantry.

Cavalry?
You've already got too much.

But only a fifth is Cavalry!
WHAT?  Buy more infantry IMMEDIATELY.

I can be mistaken, but are you suggesting i buy more cavalry?

Nice stuff, Peter. I do like the Pendraken ACW range. If the revamped ACW range had come out sooner, I wouldn't have invested so much with Peter Pig in 15mm, and probably gone for Pendraken in 10mm instead (which would certainly have helped make a few subsequent decisions even easier if I had).
