Here are some of the rules and figure scales that we use:

Age of Reason (AOR) Second Edition
25mm Seven Years War
The rules were written by Tod Kershner and Dale Wood. The rules were primarily designed for the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War.  They can also be used for earlier 18th Century conflicts such as the War of Spanish Succession.  We also use them for the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
 
GASLIGHT
20mm
G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. Victorian Science Fiction Rules by Christopher Palmer and John "Buck" Surdu. Gaslight is a set of rules for fighting skirmishes in the Victorian era. Bands of stout-hearted Extras are led by Main Characters -- from the streets of London to the hills of South Africa and from the glorious charges of the Crimea to the maelstrom of the American Civil War. These rules were written with the works of Victorian science fiction authors in mind, such as Wells, Verne, and Haggard. In addition to standard colonial era actions, special rules are included for adding various science fiction elements to the plot, including, but not limited to, steam conveyances, fabulous inventions, glorious weapons, and strange creatures from the depths of the jungle or the core of the Earth.
 
Fire & Fury
15mm and 25mm
These are rules for the American Civil War written by Rich Hasenauer.  This is a grand tactical set of rules with the smallest formation being the brigade.  This allows for the refighting of large-scale battles involving one or more corps.  We have also tried the Napoleonic variant written by Bill Gray called Age of Eagles which covers the French Revolution and wars of Napoleon.
 
They Died For Glory
15mm
These rules cover the Franco-Prussian War and are written by Dave Waxtel and Robert Burke.  The rules were designed for 15mm and are grand tactical. 
 
Trench Wars
25mm
This is a set of rules for the First World War and are written by John Spiess and Alan Durkota.  The main theatre of war is the Western Front where trench warfare was the norm.  The figure scale is 1 to 1 so units represent squads/sections, platoons and companies.  Additional units include tanks, guns and cavalry.  Expect to see lots of trenches, wire and fortifications.
 
 
Lace Warfare (1680-1783)
15mm and 25mm
This rule set is co-authored by Perry Gray and covers the conflicts from the wars of Loius XV to the end of the AWI. Ask Perry for a copy.
