Bonnie Blue Flag: Fast Play Wargame Rules for Fighting Battles During the ACW

Bonnie Blue Flag

Fast play rules, extensively tried and tested by League of Gentlemen Wargamers, whose ranks contain not a few wargaming authors.

Any scale of figures, no need for re-basing.

As a rough guide, 3-5 28mm figures per base, 6 bases per infantry regiment.

A typical game involving a four Regiment strong Infantry brigade with a Battery of guns attached can be easily accommodated on a 6x4 table and can be played to a conclusion in around 2 hours.

Simple, fast play, attrition base rules.

Sequence of play:

Declare charges
Deploy/recall skirmishers
