Battlegroup or IABSM I like both rules but not sure which to start with. I've read them both a couple times (love reading rules) Just curious to know which you'd start with knowing what you know about each (or have tried) Silly question, I know, but I'm just curious |

Battlegroup… But that cos I do some of the writing in them. ;) They are quick to get used to though and fun to play. But your best bet is to play both and see which you prefer. Don't listen to others… you may miss out on something good if you do. |

Oh, I'm going to play both but with limited time it will be a while until I try the other. |

Another for Battlegroup. It's intuitive enough that when we were learning and doing something wrong we would stop and say "That doesn't feel right" and sure enough a double check with the rules would always verify our hunch. It's hard to play other rule sets now. |

Never played either. Would depend where I am playing as to the rules I would play. Skirmish at the club I would probably use Combat Patrol. For larger games Blitzkrieg Commander. The other group I play with use a version of the Iron Ivan rules. |

I've only played IABSM but I'd play it again. So my answer has to be IABSM. |

I haven't played either but from what I've read I suspect Battlegroup would appeal to me more. |

IABSM because I think the card mechanism is easier for the solo player. Joe |
