I have updated the 'Sword and Dagger' medieval skirmish rules and the WW2 skirmish rules on our club website: link
The Medieval rules changes allow spearmen in a second rank to fight over troops armed with hand weapons, as at least the Vikings did this historically, apparently. (This will also make all those Axe and sword armed figures we all have MUCH more useful!)

The WW2 rules are updated with a bit more detail in the tank section. Although the previous sets were designed primarily as an infantry game, we, at least, are getting a lot of fun using tanks, so an update was needed.
It means you can do that fight between 3 Shermans and a Tiger from the film 'Fury' now!

I hope you like the changes! – and enjoy using the rules!

herybird -- your WWII rules look very interesting.

I'd like to try them out with my 54mm figures and 1/32nd scale vehicles.

Have you any recommendations on ranges / movement rates for the larger figures?

I imagine you could use double distances at this scale? – however, you will need a huge play area.

I would play the rules as they stand for starters, then see what works!

Good luck!

Many thanks for the recommendation.
