Two sets of rules for playing American Civil War games with miniatures have been combined into one publication called: Some Wore Blue and Some Wore Gray. These rules are being offered to miniature wargamers of all levels of experience, to other types of gamers and to the general public. Experienced miniature wargamers, being either amateur or professional history buffs, will appreciate a set of rules which not only evolved from rules from the "Golden Age" of miniature wargaming (1955 to 1975) but still maintain both the flavor and the feel of that era. It is hoped that such a set of rules could induce other types of gamers and the general public to try miniature wargaming.
