Good news Hw, I am looking to these rules to bring my 15mm SYW Armies back onto a table after a gap of some 20 years. They are based for Linear V&B, so if these rules use the standard Polemos 60x30mm bases then they should be easy enough to use with them.  I'd buy them even without the electronic bells and whistles!

I picked up the Honours of War rules yesterday. They look interesting. Thank you everyone for your advice!

Jumping on the back of this thread - anyone got a link to uniform guides / colours for Fonteny...I don't need detail, it's for my 2mm armies for Maurice

British are red, Dutch and French are pearl grey. Swiss are red, French cavalry are blue (royal), red (Maison du Roi) and grey.

Won't do as a Valentine, Leman. Only the first three words scan.

I think that for your purposes I would use the kronoskaf SYW site -  http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Main_Page. This covers the slightly later period but in most case they would be minor.

The obvious missing group from this site are the Dutch, the didn't fight in the SYW and are also incidentally mainly in blue by this time, see here for them http://royalfig.free.fr/index.php?/category/25.

Most excellent - thanks

British are red, Commies are red, Papers are red, Plenty's been said.

Scans but utter nonsense.
