I'm looking for a set of rules that could allow battles the size of Tannenberg or the first battle of the Marne to be gamed. I have Great War Spearhead II, but I'm always on the lookout for a new ruleset. |

Great War Spearhead II can be used on this scale but only in special circumstances. Our replay of the Battle of the Marne is featured here: link but clearly is not playable on a 4'x6' table at home! Op14 is a good recommendation. I don't have any experience with the ruleset but Martin Rapier speaks highly of it. Robert |

I think even BBB would struggle, unless you made each unit a Corps. Mmm. That might work I guess. I already replied to the OP on another forum. There is a Tannenberg campaign for the 1914 version of CD, but it works by bathrubbing, each battalion represents a division. |

I cannot get my head around OP14. Can anyone explain how para 6 on Page 4 works? Has anyone tried Home Before the Leaves Fall by Real Times Wargames (not the one mentioned above)? |

Could a system like Not Quite Mechanised or Rommel work for the Great War? |
