There is now a new version of Age of Rifles available on the Yahoo Group which has DosBox integrated into it and which runs sound and all with no problems on Windows 10. Here is a Dropbox link to download it. You will need something like WINRAR to unpack it though. Once this is done just click on the "START THE GAME" icon to launch, and make a shortcut from this.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54384751/Wargame%20Construction%20Set%20III%20Age%20of%20Rifles%201846-1905%20%281996%29.rar



Great download. Just unpack and play. It even has my old scenarios - which I lost in a computer crash years ago.

Is anyone able to provide another link? I would love to have a try at this again.

Many thanks.

I checked out a game play video on YouTube. I do recall seeing screenshots of some game that has similarities to Age of Rifles: hexes, formations, rifles... Game in question could be about American Civil War. Didn't memorize the name.

[edit]
Found 2 close match:
Brother Against Brother
Forge of Freedom: The American Civil War 1861-1865

Could those be what you're looking for?

Another possible substitute might be Pike & Shot Campaigns - I know that sounds odd but the game system is similar in some respects and there are at least two user made scenarios that cover Civil war battles.

Is that source legitimate? I see there is Gary Grigsby's World at War. Does the site have permission from Matrix/Slitherine to have it in there?
