Has anybody tried these out? They look fantastic!

Here's where I found them on Wargamevault:

There are lots of folks using these, including me. Extra Crispy of TMP fame has posted many AARs.

I haven't played them… the number of pages is a bit intimidating to me… I know a lot of them are reference pages but I am lucky to remember my name on most days so I want lass reading these days.

Only about 100 pages of rules, in a large type font, with a good bit of examples. It corresponds to any medium complexity level game.

Despite the number of pages, the rules are very well organized and mechanics is pretty straight forward.

Yup, our club has used FFT3 for awhile. Despite the massive book, the rules are quite fast and easy. It's a bit generic (hard to be detailed when you're covering so much history in one set of rules) but I think it gives a fun, good game.

It is a very fast and easy game. Plays very smoothly, and incorporates a lot of very modern systems a lot of the older cold war era rulesets don't.

We play FFT3 all the time for WW2 & POST War. Love it, fast play, as stated above. We use 15mm , tried it once in micro armor, worked great.

Excellent for armor heavy games. Not so good if you want to focus on infantry.

Got ‘em, play ‘em, and love ‘em.

They are the best set of Modern (and WW2) rules out there…

Also available in hard cover and coil bound in addition to the PDF format at fft3.com

A good set of rules for WW2 and later. Dug in Infantry can be difficult to dislodge.

Are the FFoT rules organized in such a way that I can pick and choose which ones I want to play with? For example if I decide to only play AFV combat (skip airpower, infantry, urban combat, etc) can I only read the rule sections that only deal with AFV combat and go from there?
