A Free set of miniatures rules for the War of 1812, representing company level actions of roughly 150-800 men per side, provided with full colour graphics.

Well, these rules are the companion set to our previously published War of 1812 ruleset 'Cousin Jonathan', which covered the war at the Battalion/Regiment level. It enabled you to fight any of the famous battles for the period such as Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, Sackett's Harbour, etc. While battles were generally small, (with 6000 participants total considered large), we felt that there was something missing for those interested in even smaller actions of the period. Further, while Cousin Jonathan is by no means a complicated game, it was decided to make a game that could be whipped together and played in a relatively short time. Thus, John Bull!
