Well I have been working on a revision for the 1986 World War Two combat rules. The 'Fire! Ogon! Fruer! rules were a detailed set of rules with many optional rules which could slow play but would make them very realistic. Back then we used mainly 1/285 scale vehicles but later we used both 10mm and 15mm vehicles. The system worked for all the scales. Now in the twilight of my gaming life, I have decided to revise several sets of my rules for use by gamers. These can be used as a framework for your project or played as a complete set. The other eras will be available over the rest of the year. With F-O-F, with will try a new format. There will be three separate 'books' in the rule set. They will all use the same vehicle reference sheets and scenario creation system. The first book will be a fast play basic system. The second book will be a realistic 'advanced' system which will be slow and realistic. The third book will be a basic system with rule mechanics for play on a grid map system.
I am too old to worry about making much money, so these will not go to the expensive publishing process. Players who may be interested in a revised set of Fire! Ogon! Freuer! can send me a request at scottnelson@bellsouth.net or see me at a convention. My next show will be in Orlando at RECON which is my deadline for completing another system which should be the Fire and Discipline (1700-1800s. I will send the files out when I finish typing the grid system. |

I will keep the emails and use them to piggyback the files. It looks like the three book set will run between 45 and 40 pages.
Thanks for the interest. |

I am real excited at how well the new rule mechanics worked. We have a new turn sequence for the advanced system. It meshes well. We also changed the aircraft sortie and anti-aircraft response rules. These play faster and does not dominate ground operations.
Artillery also had some major revisions especially in the combat results area.
Great play test night. |

Hey Marc, if you read this can you send me an email? I have some questions about the hull size of your 10mm tank collection. Thanks, Rudy |
