Sometimes the temptation on the “one click convenience” eshop purchase can lead you down a wrong turn. Once you get away from Sci-fi/Fantasy you find there a whole MASS of figures and rules to buy. Historicals (or pre WW1 at least) tend to have rulebooks published separately from the figure manufacturers (and dare I say as the rule book authors focus is purely on the rules (rather than “selling” a package), the rules tend to be better).
So don’t be scared of buying rules from a different manufacturer to the figures.
If you are importing figures and cost is an issue, perhaps 6mm might be the way to go and do some mass rank and file wargaming?
