I would like to play with about 100 figs per side min. Last set i used was Triumph of the Will by 2fatlardies

At my old club, several of the chaps regularly played SCW using Chain of Command and enjoyed it.

Chain of Command. Works really well for the SCW.

We're about to try Bolt Action. Not new…but new to us…

There is a new edition of Bayonets and Ideology out by Peter Pig.

I've played games that size with IABSM and the Cara De Sol supplement and Rapid Fire with the Rompan El Fuego supplement

Hello

Rules are obviously a thing subject to personal taste.
You might consider SCW by Peter Pig. The rules are called SCW (bayonet and ideology)
Looking at your stated criterion , SCW does have about 100 figures per side.
For example, an assault guard force i used the other day (i play a lot of SCW) had 3 platoons. Some extra bases of MMGs and riflemen added to those platoons. A coupl e of field gns and a couple of armoured trucks.

On the PP website there are videos and rule summaries. SCW is specifically written to cover exactly and only the SCW. So each mechanism relates to SCW rather than a conversion of a more generic approach.

a big range of figures etc
peterpig.co.uk/SCW.html

that should give you something to mull over.

A couple of notes; SCW is not a skirmish game. SCW uses a grid, thus can be fought using any scale/size miniatures.

good luck with your quest!

BattlegroundWW2 rules from Easy Eight if you can find them. Since there isn't a ton of armor during the SCW it should work well and not be too slow.

Crow Bait22 Feb 2018 12:21 p.m. PST

Mein Panzer from ODGW has a supplement for the SCW with the Complete ob for all sides involved. One stand = a squad. Games of a BDE or more are fine.

Take a look at Osprey's "A World in Flame – Interwar Wargame Rules 1918-39"

I wonder if any of those rules would work well for 1930s South America:

I would recommend Rapid Fire Rules. Hope it helps.

As always, comments are appreciated.

Take care

I have a set that I have been working on for 6+ years. They are 30 pages, have equipment lists, a painting guide, & organizational guidelines. But they are only intended as a home brew. If interested contact me for a copy. Each stand is a platoon so they are intended to be used for larger battles. Troops mounted for Peter Pig rules work well.
