With only FG and I free for our September game, we decided to try out the Fistful of Lead: Horse & Musket rules, but with our Sludge figures.
The rules are pretty straightforward, but with each of us running two squads, we had to reduce the number of traits for the figures.
In the photos you can see the 32mm discs that I bought to use to indicate if a figure's weapon was loaded; fortuitously, they also fit a 20mm square base, which is what my Sludge figures are based on.

Nice looking set up. How did the game play?
It's a lot like Here's the Ruckus: 10 to 12 figures, 3 grades of troops (leader, second in command, trooper), with standard stat lines, modified by Traits. In fact, we used the movement gauge for Ruckus for FFOL!
Activation is by card. There are rules for falling, doing tasks, etc. Basically a skirmish game with enough crunch to give a narrative. The combat rules are typical. The stand-out is that some activations cards confer bonuses like rerolls and bonus for combat. As with other skirmish games, scenario set up is key..
