Hi all,
I've just ventured into the world of 2mm after buying a resin printer..... I've printed off the a battalion of French so far, I'll be painting some soon. Any recommended rule sets for 2mm?

Hi, Welcome to the forums (again!). The easiest and in a way, most unlikely candidate for the most popular 2mm rules are 2 by 2 Napoleonics. These bounced around the internet and wargaming world for years solely as a set of incomplete, sort of half-organized rules. Very underground, I guess you could say - or a set of cult rules. They were never published by anyone, but were basically this gaming groups unofficial rules that caught on because of some interesting and fun mechanics. Recently (like two weeks or so ago) a group of people adopted them "officially" and organized, streamlined, and gave a touch up. I'm trying to find the link but I can't remember where I saw it...
Here's a video a dude did of the rules:
Otherwise, I personally like Sam Mustafa's games, such as Blucher and Fast Play Grande Armee. Black Powder can be alright if you modify it and play with larger 2mm units. Sun Tzu on here has some really interesting rules for playing 1:1 figure-to-troop ratio battles. I've also tinkered with some rules, but I had to put them on the back burner recently to get FMM up and running.
These are only a few ideas that spring to mind at the moment; I'm sure others have other opinions on the topic!

Hi dl295, not a million miles away from you, I am just up the road in Lancaster and i have an Anycubic Photon. I use Blucher for my Napoleonic Wargaming and have put a range of variants in the Lab that give units already based for Blucher in 25, 50 and 75mm base sizes. Blucher uses 75 as its default base size but since every thing is measured using the base size it can be scaled easily, so i use a 50mm base for the units i am making

Hi
75mm bases sizes also work for Grand Armee (older set by Sam Mustafa) and Volley and Bayonet

I've done a test play of 2x2, I really like the simplicity and adaptability of the rules, I'll look into the other games.
