The only ACW game I’ve played was Regimental Fire and Fury and it was great. The Scenario books are full of well researched scenarios and the rules themselves are solid. We played it in 28mm on 40mm bases so the basing was a little off but it worked.

@smithsco yep that’ll pretty much kill a game dead.

For Napoleonics I’ve used (and once I get these British finished hope to go back to using) Napoleon at War.

Divisional Level, 6 bases per unit of infantry, 4 for Cavalry and guns vary from 3 for British, 4 for French and 6 for Russians.

In NaW Cavalry aren’t the sledgehammers that can just charge infantry and wipe them out they’re more like area denial weapons that have a bubble around them that makes doing anything complex near them very difficult because men don’t really want to form a Column of March with a Squadron of enemy Hussars nearby.

The first project I ever did was about building a French Division for the Game, I really should update it with all the finished stuff but there’s plenty in there about Napoleon at War if you’re interested. The game also has a points system which is great for the first one or two games just to make sure you like the system before diving in to more historical scenarios.
