Hi,
These rules look very interesting.
Do they have quite a few tanks listed in their stats?
From major and minor powers?
Thanks, Steve |

Yes, a very large listing covers almost all of the ones in common use. If one is missing you can ask for stats on their mailing list – I've asked for the SturmTiger and got an answer on that one for instance. (Had an historical ASL scenario with 3 of the little babies I had to convert!) Edit – In addition to the big guys Poland, France, and Japan have listings. |

Rules look interesting, question, what is the scale of the game? Are infantry stands squads with vehicles and weapon teams 1:1? |

Yes, there are vast lists of tanks or every variety. They are pitched at the same level as Crossfire (with a bit of ASL thrown in :) So along with full sections/squads, you have teams, plus support weapons etc. |

Each stand with three or four represents a Squad or Heavy Squad respectively, and a small base with two is a Team. Bases with one man are Leaders. Tanks are indeed 1:1. There are videos on the web about how the game plays-- check them out! YouTube link Fireball is one of my favorite games ever, but I may be considered biased since I helped play test the rules and did all the illustrations in the books. 8)= |

Yep like Naz it is one of my favorite rule sets besides the fact Naz illustrated it and I helped play test the game. |
