Sharp Practice: Wargame Rules for Large Skirmishes in the Era of Black Powder, 1700 to 1865

Large-scale skirmish rules for black powder conflicts from 1750 to 1860, with a particular emphasis on the Napoleonic Wars. Players take the roles of heroic leaders, directing groups of up to a dozen enlisted figures, combining them into formations, and using small-unit drill on the battlefield. The rules support forces of roughly 30 to 120 figures per side, cover a range of conflicts across the period, and work with figures from 15mm to 40mm on any basing system.
