I'm just curious to know if anyone has come across any videos that give a review or an example of game play regarding the GHQ rule set for GHQ's WWII Micro Armour The Game? I have searched youtube and done a general search on google and I have not come across any. I can find examples of game play for other rule sets such as Bolt Action. |

Back in my day, youngster, we didn't need no stinking YouTube video to learn how to play a game. We read the rules.
Kids today. |

In my young day, we only read the rules if nobody in the group had already. Otherwise, we just went with what the one who had read them remembered. |

Try here: link Click Resources > Free Stuff There are 'quick start' pdf's of the various GHQ games. Hope that helps… ;-) |

I don't think those rules are used much any more. Probably 20+ years old? They are pretty simple though. |

Rules, you guys had rules? Why, in my day, we only had guidelines, and had to make it up as we went along. Whippersnappers, alla yuze! |

Interesting that GHQ are charging for the paper copy of the rules, when the pdf version is free on Wargame Vault. |

The problem today is the time it takes to mess around with a set of rules, trying to see how they play and hold up. Life is just too busy today than 20+ years ago. They are not played much, but if someone likes playing them I'm cool with that. If the TOE's are free, they are very nice for any game. |

These are a very good, not overly complex set of rules.
The rules give a pretty realistic result (I've only gamed EastFront battles) with straight forward common sense procedures.
The concepts of pre-planned artillery fire, opportunity fire and overwatch fire work very well and force one to plan like a battalion commander if you want to win.
The basic rules required for playing a game (no paratroop landings, amphib. landings, city fights, etc.) can be easily learned in an hour. Download them and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. |
