Yes thats the sort of thing I had in mind Rich. I was reading up on the assault on South Shields fort by the Scots in 1644. A garrison of 100 men (supported by no fewer than 5 gunnes!) with the fort stormed by a forlorn hope equipped only with swords & backed up by more conventionally equipped infantry to a total of 140 or so men. Eminently wargamable as a 1:1 action & fitting your description Brian!
Brian - Exactly right. Perfect for local campaigns.
I have read a lot on the Civil War in Cheshire and what struck me was just how many local punch ups there were that were far more interesting than just doing the big battles. Troops like Dragoons really come into their own in games like that.

Etranger. Right. Now all I have to do is write the bloody things...
