Title says it all. I'm trying to put together a portable, cheap, sturdy set of games all using the same temperate zone western European terrain on a 3' square board and using 1/72 figures. Horse and musket works OK. I'm confident that WOTR will work with Lion Rampant and slightly scaled down distances. But I'm having no luck with late WWII US and Germans. I can probably just fill the board with buildings and do house to house, but can anyone suggest rules which will work with more open terrain? |

Crossfire will work great |

Battlegroup would work fine on a board that size. |

Ganesha games Flying Lead skirmish rules will work on 3'x3'. |

I would think that most rules would work. You can use cereal boxes as a base for more terrain if needed (I think it's called chipboard elsewhere). Draw/paint a top-down view of the terrain. It should pack pretty easily since it will be flat. |

Have you thought about using THE PORTABLE WARGAME? |

Airfix Battles of course for 1/72 on a small board. |

Skirmish Action. My rules designed for a kitchen table top. Work well with 1/72. Cheers! |

Have a look at Neil Thomas' book one-hour wargames. In his book he presents rules from Ancients to WW2 all to be played on a 3 foot squared board. The real strength of the book is the 30 scenarios with forces randomly generated.The book has many good reviews on Amazon. |

Five Men at Kursk for squad-level skirmish. I play on a small kitchen table with 1/72 models and it works well |
