Back in first edition, there was a set of modern (post-WWII) rules in the Command Decision family.

Are there any modern rules for the current edition, or if not, plans to do so?

The old ones were called Combined Arms.

I don't believe they were ever "updated" as the WW2 rules went through their various iterations.

Nothing official from TOB Games, but Bob Mackenzie has done sterling work…

We've play tested the Modern Rules with Arab Israeli scenarios. They work well for that period. I can't vouch for the Nato/Warsaw Pact games.

Frank Chadwick is slowly working on an Arab-Israeli supplement. I'm doing two 1973 war games at HMGS Little Wars in April using Bob's modifications. I'm sure NATO-WP would work too.

i thought the modern rules were terible.

I really enjoyed Combined Arms back in the day – now looking to pick up the new (no TO&E included) version of Test of Battle and use the stats that Bob and others have made for moderns – I have a big heap of Pico armor 3mm minis based up in platoons to use on my old army issued Dunn Kempf boards – some day want to do a double blind at one of the HMGS east conventions – probably Cold Wars

Combined Arms were quick and easy many years ago we did a two day game using them with 20 6x4 tables and about 30 players plus video recce using an old video camera plus separate air table…In those days ( 90's) I don't think it would have been possible with any other ruleset

Joe – can you post an AAR? Also some comments on how TOB-Modern plays.. Bobs work on expanding CD-TOB is truly impressive and I look forward to Frank C's Arab-Isreali work.
