Which set of rules would you recommend?
Tgunner	18 Oct 2017 3:09 p.m. PST
Panzer Blitz of course.

Bill, What scale, size of units and level of complexity are you looking for?
Rudysnelson	18 Oct 2017 3:30 p.m. PST
IDF for tactical level. Like Panzerblitz, I have seen these modified for miniatures.

Fistful of Tows for any modern micro armor.

"Arab-Israeli Wars" was the actual AH game (based on Panzer Blitz/Leader). Wish I still had it…
Tgunner	18 Oct 2017 5:51 p.m. PST
I was thinking about these rules: PDF link Use your copy of ¨Arab-Israeli Wars¨ and you are in business. Also, the ¨Arab-Israeli Wars¨ is still easy enough to find on Ebay.

That's pretty cool… Looks like you could use FOW based miniatures, but they would count as platoons instead of teams/squads. Hmmmm…

If company/battalion level, folks have recommended Battlefront WWII (from Fire and Fury). They have all you need for AIW on their website. For one stand = platoon, folks have mentioned Modern Spearhead, Cold War commander and Fistful of TOWS.

Looks like you could use FOW based miniatures That is what I'm thinking. I love Team Yankee (FOW in a modern setting), but I've wanted to play Panzer Blitz/AI War as a miniatures game since I was a kid in college. I will be trying this out.

Command Decision

Old school, WRG 1950-80 for individual vehicle/fire-team. Battlefront has a lot of support on the website for AIW. Chadwick published an OB guide for Command Decision recently if you want to go platoon/stand. I've run several AIW games with Command Decision from Combined Arms to the current CDTOB version.

We use IDF, but modify the movement rate. Otherwise you basically sit there.
Dynaman8789	20 Oct 2017 6:39 a.m. PST
Anyone have a link for IDF? Googling it will turn up a zillion other things instead of the rules.
Tgunner	26 Oct 2017 12:40 a.m. PST
Refine your search. Idf Avalon hill works pretty well.
