What is the best rule system for world war 1? I have a large army of early war French and right now I play them as imperial guardsmen in 40k. Also, where do you guys find people to play ww1 games?

Your best bet would be to find a local club that plays Historical games and find out what sort of rules they play with and what periods scales. There usully willing for a chit chat if nothing else.

As for rules, the popular ones are:
Too Fat Lardies, Through mud and blood (very highly rated)

Warhammer Historical: The Great War (uses a simular system to 40k just desined for WW1)

There are a couple of others but from what Ive seen there not as popular as these 2.

Hope it helps!
