American Battlelines is a set of miniatures rules for the time period of 1775 through 1865. The mechanics are based around stands, so any figures from 2mm up can be used. The scale is 1"=25 yds., and 1 stand = 60-80 men.

During each turn, both sides roll for initiative. The player winning initiative must then activate one unit. Players then alternate activating units until all units have been activated. Activating a unit allows the unit to take one Double Action, or to take one Movement Action and one Standard Action (in either order).

Movement Actions: Move, Recover, Reform, Retire, Retreat Standard Actions: Fire, Rally, Reload, Search for Ammo Double Actions: Careful Fire, Charge, Tactical Move, Withdraw
