Besides this, I have a Civil War Project, a Franco-Prussian War project and a generic colonial project that uses 25mm figures.
In doing some research for the Civil War project and trying to figure out what I'm going to do with that I came across a set of rules called Edwardian Splendour: A Kriegspiel for Toy Soldiers. The game is meant for 54mm figures set in the 1850s - 1910s, but with some minor provisions it could be bent for use with the American Revolution.
I plan to use this set of rules for several reasons, first they're fairly simple. All combat and morale is simple and straight forward. The figures are based individually, with the idea being that it evokes the looks of those games fought by HG Wells over a hundred years ago. It also covers rules for solid shot and shell firing and differentiates between breech loading and muzzle loading guns.
This way I can also use this one set of rules for all of my projects.
This being said I have decided to change the scale of my AWI project. I will now be using 10mm Irregular Miniatures figures based on 15mm by 15mm bases and use the Edwardian Splendour rules but use centimeters instead of inches.
The scales are different too, each unit will represent a brigade and when the entire project is finished I will have 27 units of British and 40 units of Americans.
As for the paint schemes I will have that ready for the next post with all 67 units uniforms being laid out.
