Hey all I was wondering what rules were you currently
using for WWI.
In my case for 15mm Flames of War, but about to look at new Square Bashing
and for my 28mm the new Blood and Valor rules |

The old GDW set, "Over the Top" by Greg Novak. |

Used to use Over the Top, but they were very bloody, even in open field fights…which most likely is accurate. :) Need to take a look at them again since I have some Blue Moon doughboys waiting to be painted and mounted. |

the Bolt action WW1 variant from Gajo or the GWS over the top rules. |
| LXIVth | 12 Jul 2020 5:57 p.m. PST |
If I'm gaming Western Front, I use Trench Wars. With less popular theatres I use Contemptible Little Armies |
| D6 Junkie | 12 Jul 2020 7:15 p.m. PST |
LXIVlegion you have any scenarios for Trench Wars? |

For my 1914 French/German battles I am using BBB rules with some modifications.
BBB- Bloody Big Battles by Chris Pringle |
| David Manley | 12 Jul 2020 10:42 p.m. PST |
Si Vis Pacem, GQ3 and BBB. Oh, and Steamer Wars for Lake Tanganyika games |

Mainly have used "Over the Top", but I did try a couple of smallish games using "Raging Empires" that were fun. Skirmish gaming used a modified "Necromunda" for a comic book feel. |

For more serious operational games I generally use OP14 these days (with some added mods for trench warfare and later war). For something more light hearted, modified One Hour Wargames. A pre-lockdown OP14 game: link And a OHW game from 2018: link |

Square Bashing from Peter Pig – a great set of rules. |

Really depends what you want from your game. Peter Pig's Square Bashing is good for Divisional/Corps actions. It has a scenario style generator, but we've had success using them for refights. Otherwise Op14 is good for Army Level operational games. Free download available on my blog page: link As for skirmish level, I couldn't really say. Seen a few played and they look like fun, but I always think of WW1 as being quite large in terms of scope. |

My WW1 is in Mesopotamia and I use Great War Spearhead. |
| Martin Rapier | 14 Jul 2020 3:31 a.m. PST |
My stuff is all based for GWSH and Square Bashing, both good sets of division/corps battles. |
| Militia Pete | 18 Jul 2020 4:59 a.m. PST |
Still basing for Command Decision :) |
