First off, it's not exactly off topic as I have a set of rules for using
Stargrunt II for the American Civil War.

All,

thanks to everyone who provided 6mm ACW manufacturers. that's one thing I
like about this list -- everyone's helpfulness.

Allan,

I'm not dead set on 6mm -- I was only thinking about table space and the
size battles we wanna do. I used to own 15mm ACW, but the table was always too
small. 10mm appears worth investigating.

I saw Hardtack, your SG2 ACW rules, on your site but the link is not yet
active. would you mind emailing me a softcopy version (if it's convenient). we
would like to check it out.

thanks, Dave

10mm has the advantage of being much better in detail than 6mm while still
being small enough for a small table. I just thought I'd mention it, though. I
thought of 10mm myself, but I'm leaning towards 6mm.

If you can wait a little bit, I'll put that on my list of next projects for my
web site. It should be up in a week or so. Otherwise, I can e-mail you a
copy in Word 97 format right now (when it's on the web I'll have it as a Word
doc and a PDF... maybe a Palm OS doc file, too; I'm not sure an HTML version
would be all that useful).

I need folks to playtest it. I gave it out to a number of people last year,
but this version has undergone a substantial re-write. Some of the
formation stuff is simpler, and I've added better artillery rules. Artillery
was a real bear. The basic rules include round shot and canister, while the
advanced rules include case shot and spherical case shot.

If you can wait, I'll post a message to the list when it's up. Otherwise, I'll
e-mail you the Word file.
