Hi Bought Rate Of Fire (& its AFV supplement) at Warfare last weekend and these look decent and very playable. Also obtained a called Metal Storm with some interesting ideas/systems Never can have enough rulebooks :-) Cheers |

Command Decision. Makes the player use Arty, Inf, and Arm in concert, especially on the attack. |
clavain  | 10 Dec 2010 10:40 a.m. PST |
Command Decision for battalion-level and up. (I use some things from v3 with v4/ToB, such as movement rates/rules which have changed simply but dramatically in the latter, and for those who like the detail of weapons systems v3 is better. Plus it comes with an excellent desert Battleaxe campaign. That said I like the Fog of War cards and some other new additions to v4 as well.) IABSM for company level Disposable Heroes for 1:1 Skirmish but don't have a lot of experience here so will be trying other sets eventually. |

I enjoy Memoir 44-its fantastic for a lazy Sunday when youve only got your lass or nephew to hand. I played against the lad -no brain of Britain- when he was 10 and he picked it up really well. He began to see the need to develop a strategy and also about the importance of outflanking the enemy. He also got more interested in the history of the period-plus removing the figures got him thinking in other ways too. Finally he enjoyed beating his uncle
Other than that I do like Rules of Engagement and have a reinforced Brit platoon, some German fallshys and a HG platoon from a certain well known seaside location
(also have alzo zero which I think aint bad but doesn't seem to have much of a following) |

For company to division-level play in 10mm up to 28mm, I love "Fire and Maneuver" That game mechanic can also be applied to any ear from Ancients to WWII. |
R Mark Davies  | 30 Dec 2010 7:40 p.m. PST |
Having just got into the air side of things, I have to add a vote for CY6 – I love it. |
John the OFM  | 30 Dec 2010 8:10 p.m. PST |
Flames of War Check your 6 They are the only ones that I play. |
Buzzkill  | 30 Dec 2010 9:55 p.m. PST |
I'd like to change my response from back in may
Still play BKCII for company+ sized battles but now I am playing and really enjoying ROE for platoon sized encounters. Played a little FOW but never really got into it. |
| DaveyJJ | 31 Dec 2010 12:01 p.m. PST |
CrossFire or Poor Bloody Infantry II, both in 10mm. NUTS! 2nd edition for skirmish. (I do like TW&T as well ,must admit.) Hex and chit tactical otherwise. |
StokieSteve  | 02 Jan 2011 5:53 p.m. PST |
Oooh, yeh. I forgot PBI .. Great rule set. |

NUTS! WW2 for skirmish level and Panzer Korps for operational level games. Still looking for a good Company level game system. |
Warwick Castle  | 09 Jan 2011 4:01 a.m. PST |
Try Metal Storm WW2 and Modern they Company level and like Mr kippling said
'exceedingly good' warwickwargames.com |

SBminisguy – Troops Weapon & Tactics if you want 1 model = 1 man. Card activated, each card activates a section/squad (9-12 men), which act together within groups/fire teams. I Ain't been Shot Mum, for larger games – groups still represent a section, but less detail: its just 8 men. |
manders01  | 28 Jan 2011 6:50 a.m. PST |
Command Decision is the best in my opinion. |

I don't have experience with many rules, but own dozens. Of the ones I have played, I liked Take Cover! the best (an alternative to Rapid Fire for 20mm battalion level game from Britannia Miniatures in the 90s) and I'll be posting a review of it in the next month or so. Out of all the other rules I have played or read, I think the Fire and Fury Battlefront ww2 looks pretty good. |
Empgamer  | 04 Feb 2011 3:51 a.m. PST |
I like BF WWII most but no players to speak of near me. R Mark Davies plays but he's about an hour away. Mostly play: FOW Company BKC II: Battalion (it's still too abstract for me though) |
Weasel  | 26 Feb 2011 10:01 p.m. PST |
Nuts and TW&T for sure. Just "feels" the best, and they both put paid to the absurd notion that "realism" must also mean complexity. Crossfire is one we've played a lot too |

We use our own homegrown rules in both groups that I game with. Weaselhoffen. |
Dasher  | 01 Mar 2011 7:41 a.m. PST |
Tractics. Yes, Tractics. :-) Either that, or "Not-So-Little Wars" 1:18 scale skirmish rules. |
snodipous  | 02 Mar 2011 9:57 a.m. PST |
Flames of War and ASL. Covering both ends of the bell curve. |
