Ray's Rules Depot

Voice of the Guns

VOTG started out as a set of rules for the Franco-Austrian War of 1859 under the working title of the War of the Emperors. As with other sets, it quickly became apparent that the range could be extended to include all the later nineteenth century and the early twentieth, not excluding the first years of the First World War, provided that the gamer had no need of such esoterica as aircraft, tanks or armoured cars.

European Land Warfare 1850 to 1914

The rules are element-based, where one base represents 100 infantry, 50 cavalry or two rapid-fire weapons. Artillery is frontage-based according to the number of pieces in the battery. The rules cater for all figures sizes, from 5/6mm right up to 25/28 mm.

Ground scale is 1mm = 1 metre, although if you intend to game the later eras, when small-arms ranges increased dramatically, I would recommend going to 1mm = 2 metres, otherwise your infantry will be picking off the enemy before they even get on the table!

This is the most recent and least play-tested set on the site and therefore the one likeliest to have the most kinks and holes. However, if you drop me an e-mail I will endeavour to plug any gaps.
