Hi all I am looking for a modern ruleset that has the following :
1. One or at most two companies of infantry with various support options.
2. Infantry to be based on stands of three / four models.
3. One to one representation, one soldier/tank equals one soldier/tank.
4. Air – air support options including the abillity for battlefield interception of aircraft and aa fire.
5. I would like to be able to field as many different units as possible in an army including logistics and artillery units.
6. Gameplay – must be solo friendly and not overly complex.
7. I intend doing this project in 1/285 using either imagi-nations or cold war opponents. Set in 1960-1985 time period. India vs Pakistan or Iran vs Iraq also possible. Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated. |

I'll go with the obvious… Team Yankee or Fate of a Nation both from Battlefront. FOAN is the Arab Israeli conflict from 67 so will need a little work for India v Pakistan. Plus, you could always try A Torrent Of Steel… PDF link |

Is it possible to recommend Team Yankee yet? |

It's possible always. Is it out? I only do aerial stuff for moderns (air-air, air-mud, air-sea) so I am not sure but there have been a flurry of comments lately… |

I'll second SabreSquadron, but lately I've been really enjoying someone's homebrewed game called Able Archer. It's simpler, and I just finished creating a rules revision that I think is much easier to read. PM me if interested. Seems like everything you're looking for. |

Wait, is there no private messaging in this forum?? |

Another vote for Sabresquadron. Down load the free version to try it. |

How about Five Core Company Command?: link |

Thanks to all that responded. @ Josta59 – would love to take a look at the Able Archer rules you mentioned. My email is jcqslabbertATgmailDOTcom @ Dark Knights and Bloody Dawns – Had a quick look now at A Torrent of Steel. Seems to be what I was looking for. Will also have a look at Sabresquadron, Team Yankee and Five Core Company Command. |

My FiveCore rules will do most of those things. No air (outside an infantry commanders perspective really), but you can play a company vs company battle on your own in an hour or so, maybe hour and a half. Includes some random army tables, campaigns and solo bits. Do note that it's not aimed at gearheads. Tanks get abstracted a fair bit. |

Why not just go large with FiveCorp Brigade Commander? |
