Hi all,

I'm interested in players' opinions of families of rules that allow you to play multi-scale battles, i.e.squad/skirmish, platoon/company, battalion, such as GW's Kill Team, 40k and Epic. Which sets would be suitable to follow a squad through a campaign, allowing progression of team members, with option to play solo when necessary? Which do you prefer and why?

Many thanks,
Noggin

Two Hour Wargames. I like sci-fi, so for me its the 5150 family:
Fringe Space – rpg rules
Star Army 2nd tour – squad leader to company commander
Hammer and Anvil – adding tanks and mechs

They have the fantasy sets as well.
Reasons:
Designed for solo play, excellent support via their forum, realistic results (obviously in my opinion, your mileage may vary), I can play with whatever minis I choose and fun is encouraged.

I'd highly recommend the 5core at of rules from Nordic Weasel. They have three rulesets, covering skirmish, company and brigade levels. They're quite solo friendly, but are great fun as a two player.

I second 5core from Nordic Weasel.
