I don't remember the rules author but he wrote a set called Overlord. The fighting is based in Normandy only and he lists different morale levels for the unit types present in Normandy. I think it was a company-level ruleset. Could be platoon. Anyone know where to find the set currently? |

Was that by Barrie Lovell of Firebase Games? |

Can't find the rules anywhere. Rare indeed. |

ASL, Battlegroup and Schwere Kompanie seem to be the closest matches to his style of rules. |

I never bought Overlord, but the Eastern Front set, Grey Storm Red Steel. I no longer have the hard copy, but fortunately scanned it in a few years ago. Barrie sold the rights to the rules to a company in the US, who then just sat on them and have no intention of printing them. |

Huh, I just picked up a copy of Overlord second hand! 1" = 10 meters
1 turn = 2.5 minutes
1:1 figure/vehicle ratio
Riflemen based in groups of 3 or 4 on a 1.5 x 1" base Other figures mounted on various sizes. Highly detailed mechanics. Infantry morale chart has a list of 24 modifiers. Included counter sheet has 12 different counters for Morale Test, Halt, Overwatch, Rout etc. |

Have both (bit of a rules junkie here) but havent seen a copy advertised for ages. |

My copy is copyright 2001 Brookhurst Hobbies. My guess is they sold too slow to make a reprint profitable. Maybe a PDF on Wargame Vault instead? Can't hurt to ask… |

We'd be happy to sell them, either by pdf or print on demand! |

No way to get these apart from second hand. Vault support would be welcome! |

Mine is 1994 Firebase Games Extra Crispy. Wonder if yours was a straight reprint or some changes made. |

Just judging by looks, I'd guess not… |
