I ordered some 10mm Pendraken figures for the Falklands War. Now I need to find rules, looking for something easy to learn and fairly simple. I plan to base multiple figures to a base and would like these to represent a section (withe the idea of each player commanding a company or two). What are my options out there?

PAR,

I recommend 5Core Company Commander. I've played out 21 battles with them and love them. I believe they meet all your requirements save possibly the last; these are really a company plus support per side; I suppose you can go larger, but I've never tried it.

In any case, this should be right up your alley:

This is Gaz Shaw playing Falklands in 10mm using 5Core Company Commander.

Here's a link to the first batrep from my WWII Campaign in Poland, September 1939:

Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any questions.

V/R,
Jack

Command Decision has some scenarios in the South Atlantic War book for Harpoon

A lot of games tend to skip past the "one stand is a section" stage and go straight to platoons.

I'd be happy to answer questions about FiveCore Company Commander.

Crossfire is also very adaptable as it fits the same scale

Arc of Fire would be my choice or the Falklands verion of IABSM.

Cold War Commander has army lists for Platoon level Falklands games and is ideal for 10mm figures.

TooFatLardies have published scenarios for their rules which given the age of the publication I think must have been I ain't been shot mum. Those rules would suit a company based game. However, their more recent Chain of Command would almost certainly work but that's at a lower level with a platoon for each player.
