As I wait for some Oddzial Osmy 3mm Germans and Belgians to arrive in the mail, I'm working on what rules I'd like to use for large Cold War engagements. I want to play at the "battalion level", meaning that individual tanks/stands of infantry represent roughly a platoon (or half company) of troops. A typical maneuver element, what a player controls, would be a battalion. Games might feature a reinforced regiment or a brigade on each side; a big game could be a division. I have Modern Spearhead and an old copy of Combined Arms and am trying to figure out what my other options could be.

You may find the Five Core system by Wild Weasel Games interesting, especially Company Commander. Check it out on Wargames Vault. |

Nordic Weasel but appreciate the shout out regardless :-) Of the ones listed, I think FFT is my favourite. |

Toward the simulation end is Command Decision (Test of Battle is the latest). Toward the more game end (though the results are believable) is the 5Core games. Brigade Commander uses Company stands but plays fast and fairly accurate |

I would second Five Core's Company Command. |

There is a Rapid Fire modern adaptation, which I have lost the link to once again. My personal favorites are FFoT, Command Decision, and Modern Spearhead. For whatever that is worth. |

Cold War Commander look a good set, I have just bought a digital copy as I plan to do 'Imagination' armies for the Middles East. |

You can do a battalion per player with one stand=one squad/vehicle (I do that in Flames of War!), I'd be planning on a regiment per player with one stand = one platoon. I'd probably go with FiveCore, but I prefer playing at the stand=squad or individual scale. |
