I am tempted by ACW. I have downloaded for the Princely sum of £4.50 the DBN extension for the ACW. Being a lazy so and so and not sure of the era I did not want to paint hundreds of little men so I downloaded from Grand Manoeuvre at grandmanoeuvre.co.uk/ both ACW armies for £12. These are 6mm paper blocks already coloured. Just cut out, put together and there is your unit. Worth a look if you are not sure you will like gaming that era.

Surely if you squint your 2mm armies can be pretty much anything

See your point! Tried it this afternoon, I took an element of Huscurls (Blades) from my Anglo Saxon army and really squinted. I then did a great deal of research but no, I could find no ACW regiments on either side who wore chainmail and had colourful shields.
But worth the try.

Yes I like painting 2mm. Looks great on mass in my study. With the curtains drawn, light off and viewed from just outside the room shows them at their best!

You could try top-down, or other, prints from Junior General. I did that for my Napoleonics and they worked exceedingly well. They have ACW stuff as well.
