Hello all,

Just getting started into the Seven Years War period, as I want to create an Imagi-nations campaign.  I plan on looking over the uniforms of the period so that should I want to play historical they will be painted properly.

I'm looking for a rule set to play smaller Seven Years War battles.  Looking at 5-6 Battalions of Infantry per side, maybe 1-3 Cav Squadrons and 1-3 Cannon.  Will be playing with 10mm figures.

I currently have the Loose Files and American Scramble, The War Game (by Charles Grant) and Might and Reason rule sets.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  I'm not looking at getting into the really big battles of the time.

Thanks in advance

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Honours of War allows for the smaller battles?  I will check them out.

Thank you all for the input.  I am going to give Honours of War a try when I get ready for this.
