I have a pretty large force of 15mm French and Germans for 1940. They are based for FoW and are pretty sizable. Can anyone suggest some rules to use.
I have already done Blitzkrieg Commander and Flames of War.
Looking for something new |

Fireball Forward is another possibility. Or Schwere Kompanie |

Have you tried PBI? No need to rebase. |

There is a PBI "Fall of France " day on 18th January at Entoymnet (Poole). There will some battle reports from that I am sure. PBI is a one to one representation, but infantry are in weapon or rifle groups.
Here is a summary of the rules.
In addition there are a bunch of videos about PBI. peterpig.co.uk/infopbi.html
Good luck with your project.

Battlefront:WW2 is a great set of rules and works well for Blitzkrieg. |

I second Crossfire for infantry focused games, with a few tanks. |

Hey Guys, I probably have some 50 stands of infantry and 20-30 vehicles per side, so looking for rules that can handle that. |

Spearhead for games 1 base=1 squad. 5-6 bataillons would be around 40 stands, 20 vehicles. Thts a large game and in 150% for 15mm (my recomendation) it would need a 8*6 table. |
| Dexter Ward | 11 Dec 2019 10:40 a.m. PST |
1 base = 1 platoon in Spearhead.
Battlefront:WW2 is 1 base = 1 squad and one model vehicle = 2 or 3 actual vehicles. Manoeuvre units are companies (usually 9-12 stands for infantry), and up to a battalion a side with armour is the ideal sort of size to play.
More info and lots of good scenarios here:
