I have just bought 3rd Generation Warfare which looks interesting but has peaked my interest.

I am looking at a game played on a 6X4 board within 3 hours with a reinforced company of models on each side at a 1:1 scale.

e.g. flames of war kind of scale.

My preference is for a fairly fast moving simplistic set of rules.

Used to love Challenger/2/2000 back in the day but much too complex for me now

Any bright ideas?

It does not seem to be a very rules rich arena?

Sabresquadron – Rapid Deployment is an introductory set for the modern era so covers the Cold War. It's 6' x 4', reinforced company level at 1:1 and fast moving, so should meet your requirements.

Here's the link for the free rules along with some AARs and lists from the Cold War:

sabresquadron.com/index.html

The full rules are scheduled for release in July.

So far very positive. Will let you know when I have re read it a few times.

FiveCore Company Command.

Fast moving "cinematic realism".

As the author, I should note that Company Command is squad-stands, not fire teams (though you could probably play fire teams and basically not break a thing.

A battle with 10-12 stands (a company plus a few supports) plays in under 2 hours, typically.
