We may be sending these WWII Russian figures off to Vancouver for painting, but they'll eventually reach Thailand - because that's where DJD Miniatures conducts operations...

What WW2 ruleset are you playing?

I've got IABSM, CoC, and FoW3 but was wondering if there was something else out there that's recently been released that folks are enjoying.

Tgunner14 Dec 2019 8:38 a.m. PST

FoW4 right now. It's easy, fun, and my teen boys enjoy it. What's not to like?

Crossfire, Fistful of TOWs and my FoW variant "Flames of Awesomesauce"

Rich Bliss14 Dec 2019 8:54 a.m. PST

Command Decision. Not recently released but still my favorite 20th Century rule set.

@Rich Bliss

Which version?

the trojan bunny14 Dec 2019 10:02 a.m. PST

My own rules. Been working on them on and off for years, but I finally feel like the infantry rules are what I want them to be. Now onto vehicles…

Moved to Battlegroup a couple of years ago after leaving FOW

With my FOW based kit I am playing 5core company commander or Dave Brown.s Panzer Grenadier.

Mark6814 Dec 2019 1:54 p.m. PST

Wow! I've not heard of half of them. Time to research methinks!

Thanks all.

Battlefront from Fire and Fury.

Fireball forward is another good WW2 company level game. It works well with your 15mm FOW stuff too, but can be played in other scales as well.

Col Durnford Supporting Member of TMP14 Dec 2019 5:02 p.m. PST

Since nobody else said it yet, Rapid Fire.

martin goddard Sponsoring Member of TMP15 Dec 2019 2:08 a.m. PST

A fair bit of PBI. At the moment the locals are working towards the 1940 PBI day on 18th January. PBI is infantry centred, so is less popular with those who want lots of tanks.

The tanker gamers seem to be playing in 15mm and 20mm. Have not seen much 1/300th armour games at local groups this past year.

I expect that WW2 is the most widely played period for miniature gamers? Probably double the nearest other?

mildbill15 Dec 2019 5:54 a.m. PST

KISS Rommel.

Marc33594 Supporting Member of TMP15 Dec 2019 8:04 a.m. PST

My still favorite stand by, Rapid Fire. Also run games using those rules at both RECON and HURRICON. However unless we get the promised 3rd edition soon doesnt quite fit the "recently released" caveat.

I've also got Rapid Fire, must be the first edition. Played it once, good fun. I think that's the one where you throw paper or something in the air for a parachute drop?
