Sorry for the delay Gents, my access to a computer for personnal use midweek is limited, but with regard Crimean War Rules -:

"I cannot take any credit for these, as they were originally published in "Wargames Illustrated" around about issue 70 something and later, republished in Nov 1998 issue 134 under the heading "Three Battles of the Jacobite Rebellion" by "Stephen Simpson". Tweak 'em' to suit. "

I tweaked them, and used them for quick play Crimea. They are undoubtdly quick and simple, but easily picked up both by my kids, and younger members at Club meetings. As mentioned above, originally designed for Jacobite Risings, they have been used by me for this theatre as well.

On a more robust note, a good friend, "Liam A of E" just recently suggested using "Fire and Furia Francese". Based on the ACW rule set, but adapted for mid -ninteenth Century European wars, he uses this for Crimea, and is one I have to have a look at :!: :!:
