With Battlefront releasing plenty of models for Oil War, I was wondering what are the other rulesets out there that can be used to play engagements during the 82 Lebanon war. Any recommendation? thank you |

Thee usual generic post-WWII suspects should work: Cold War Commander
A Fistful of TOWs
Combined Arms (Command Decision Modern) If you're looking for theatre and period-specific rules similar to Oil War, there aren't any that I know of. Battlefront seems to be the only company that caters to specific periods and theatres to such an extent. I mean, they have two separate rulesets for the Mideast post-WWII (FOAN and OW) for crying out loud. Who else does that???!!! Okay, maybe Force On Force when it was still actively releasing books left and right a long time ago. Maybe that's why it's on the Fantasy board. |

I Ain't Been Shot Mum with the Rock the Casbah supplement which is specifically designed for the Lebanese Civil War and includes several scenarios from the early 1980s. link |

Repaint. I mispoke/mistyped. Rock the Casbah is actually designed for Troops, Weapons and Tactics – the TooFatLardies platoon level game before Chain of Command. Apologies. The two can be crunched together but it will present more of a challenge. As here: link |

AK 47 has the necessary parts needed for the conflict. Both editions. |

Played a lot of Lebanon ‘82 several years ago with AK47, it gave very good games. |

22f and repaint, actually I seem to remember that rock the casbah is a Lebanon 82 supplement for both IASBM and tw and t, were you get info on units and add-ons to be used in both rulesets |

AK-47 and Rock the Casbah are both good rules sets, it would be more of a question of what level of granularity you are looking for. The Battlefront products are at a much higher level (company/battalion). I greatly enoy the Two Fat Lardies rules but they are not to some people's liking. Follow this link to take a look at some of the games we have played using Rock the Casbah and see if you think you would enjoy the rules link |

they are not to some people's liking. But the real question on everyone's mind is: "Do the Shareef like it?" The Battlefront products are at a much higher level (company/battalion). True. The ones mentioned in my previous post are all played at a similar level of organization and formation/unit size. |

@28mm Fanatik Kudos on the the music reference, you had me laughing out loud and humming the tune YouTube link |

thanks all for the advice. I bought Rock the Casbah which looks very much the type of game I am looking for. I will try to investigate more AK47 (and actually already own FoF and Cold War commander!) FoF, I was planning to play it in 28mm as for Cold War Commander, I should give it one more try. I might try Fireteam modern in 15mm as well. All in all, I think that's a good selection of interesting rulesets to explore.
Cheers! |
