Hi, Have acquired a large collection of Arab and Israeli forces at this small scale. New to this period so am looking for recommendations for rules at both this scale and conflicts? Thanks in advance. |

The timing of your question would seem to be perfect for the upcoming release of Battlefront's new variation on Team Yankee for the 1967 and 73 wars. Nodicenoglory.com have been releasing teasers on these rules recently: link Officially the game is at 15mm but some people play at 6mm and they will be selling the unit cards separately so there would be no barrier to playing at other scales. |

Fistful of TOWs. Excellent set of rules.
Modern Spearhead is very good as well. Both sets cover post WW2 to the present. FFoT also covers WW2. |

I use Cold War Commander for my Arab-Israeli games in 6mm. It's easy to learn and not overly complex. They were bought out by Pendraken Miniatures a couple of years ago and you can buy the rules through Lulu: link |

Give Command Decision Test of Battle a try. Each stand represents a platoon, so you can run larger scale battles. I play the game using micro armor and it looks great, but 3mm would,really work well too. You could put multiple tanks on a stand….but 3mm infantry is nowhere near as nice to look at as 285th scale. Frank Chadwick put out very detailed expansion for the rules that covers the armies that participated in the ‘73 Arab-Israeli conflict….perfect timing for you! link |

I second "Cold War Commander" as we have used them a number of times with good results. Jim |

Fist Full of Tow's, Cold War Commander, playing with the old or new versions of FOW Fate of a Nation. I enjoy playing FFT, but CWC is lot easier to understand and the games seem faster. When using Fate, I just cut the measurements in have. I have had friends who used them as is and work great for a 6mm game. I think those three are your best choices since a lot above have also named them. Another thing you can do is that parts from each and make your own home grown as well. |

Thanks guys for all the help, there is certainly 3 or 4 sets he to look into. |

These set of rules (FFT, CWC, FoN) would work for the period 1982-2010? |
| williamb | 04 Jul 2018 6:38 p.m. PST |
I don't have FoN so can't say, but CWC and FFt will both work for 1982 to 2010 @beingshort1 FFt does takes a bit longer to learn than CWC. However, we found FFT to play faster than CWC FFT is also more up to date than the current version of CWC and covers items not included in CWC. |

Kalt Krieg ohne Hass is designed for small scale miniatures, where a base if vehicles is equivalent to a company. Each player can easily control a Brigade on a grid system that regulates movement and firing ranges.
