I actually think Sharp Practice, although intended for low level skirmishes works very well for AWI. Simply treat as 1:10 scale and each group is then a company equivalent. There were lots of engagements at this scale and with hugely understrength battalions, 4 groups gives you a British battalion of 320 men. We played a fun multi player Battle of the Cedars with SP. The other rule set that worked for large engagements in 6mm was bizarrely ‘Horse, Foot & Guns’.

When I was looking for a set for AWI, British Grenadier was the most recommended to me, and I have a copy, but have never got to play it.
