Grand Tactical Rules for the mid-19th century Europe wars of transition

We currently offer two rule sets for miniatures gaming:  "1870", which covers the Franco-Prussian War and "1859", which covers both the 1859 Second Italian War of Independence and the 1864 Second Schleswig War.

The rules were designed specifically for large-scale battles of several divisions to several corps on each side (ideally with 6, 10, and 15mm figures) but the rule system was subsequently modified to accommodate much smaller engagements (with larger size figures) as well.

bulletBesides the rules, 80 percent of each book is devoted to detailed historical notes, background information, orders of battle, and an extensive annotated bibliography

bulletFourteen exhaustively-researched historical battle scenarios are included in each book; these cover both the Imperial and Republican phases of the war in "1870", and seven Italian and seven Danish scenarios in "1859".

bulletBoth books are extensively illustrated in color throughout, and contain ample diagrams and examples of play

bulletSummary "cheat sheets" are included with both books
