Normally, when we fight battles with miniature figures we have taken the trouble to paint them in the appropriate uniforms/clothes of the army/people they represent. My Han Chinese army is painted in colorful silks and appropriate hats and shields of the time. Likewise my Prussian Seven Years War figures are painted in appropriate uniforms with proper collars and cuffs for their regiments. But yesterday, we fought a battle with figures designed and painted as what you think of as toy soldiers. The rules were designed to reflect a real toy soldier type battle. You didn't lose any figures. But a unit with bad enough results of conflict would either retreat or be taken off the board (really bad for the latter). So the battle raged back and forth as one side or the other retreated. It wasn't designed to be like a real battle, except as a 4 year old might fight a battle.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to take pictures of the troops. But, the guy who put on the game had a couple pictures so you can see how they look. The cavalry isn't shown in them, but the horses were on wheeled platforms (just like toy soldiers).

The rules were so simple that they only required one page of large type to hold them. This was the first test of these rules, so we made a number of modifications. But we didn't really expand them much, they should still fit on one page.

The battle, BTW, was quite fun, as Gary's rules usually are.
