Pot That Fellow, Somebody Colonial Rules
Pot that Fellow, Somebody is a set of free miniatures rules for the colonial era. Author RP Bergman writes:
These rules are intended to fight Colonial quasi-skirmish level games with multiple players and 2-3 units per players. Colonial players includes Europeans, Americans, and any other modern power with advanced military technology. Native players include includes Zulus, Dervishes, Pathans, etc. Units are rated according to Morale Quality, Melee Skill, and Firearms Skill. The Morale of units degrades as they lose leaders, take casualties, suffer from the heat, or fail to take action during the battle. Eventually, even the best unit may “run away” to live, fight (and die) another day. Units take a variable number of actions each turn, with the better quality troops having a higher chance of taking more actions.

Combat during World War II focused on volume of fire into a specific area combined with rapid movement of combat units. The weapon systems were poor by modern standards and there was a constant design battle between shell penetration versus vehicle armor.
