Sharp Practice (2008)

Sharp Practice are large scale skirmish rules, designed for between 30 and 120 figures a side, with players taking the roles of heroic leaders of the black powder age. Hornblower, Flashman, Sharpe, Bolitho, all can lead their men into battle with these much heralded rule set.

The rules are written with an emphasis on the Napoleonic Wars but include rules the will allow them to cover almost any conflict between 1750 and 1860. In the literary genre, Sharp Practice sees the enlisted men operate in groups of up to a dozen figures, with the key leaders adding their character to the action. Groups of men may be combined into formations and the rules contain a guide to using small unit Napoleonic drill in your games.

The rules are suitable for figures from 15mm to 40mm in size and will work with any basing system you like.
