Am writing a blog to review rules that I play with child, to try and give people an idea of what would be a good 'starter set' to use. Have been giving thought about what rules to use. I do intend to play WW2 naval with my son. The rules I usually use are GQ3, a well written and not to complex set – not sure if they are the best rules to start a seven year old off on though. Any recommendations that a simple set of WW2 naval rules to start him off with? Cheers thatwargamesblog.blogspot.co.uk |

I started my lad off with Victory at Sea when he was about seven. It was a good way to get the concept of dividing time into 'moves' and was very simple. After about three games he was ready to move to GQ. He also usually beat me. I would also stick to real-life scenarios so I could read or tell him about it so he could get the context; in the early days we did Cape Spada, River Plate, Denmark Strait, PQ13 and Operation Praying Mantis (1980s). Being able to show a you-tube doc or bit of archive footage really helped set the scene. As time went on we started on hypothetical scenarios and we've had some great games. Nick |
