Hello, Is there a tactical set of rules where the base element is 3-4 men, with engagements of up to a platoon and 1-2 vehicles a side? (not flames of war which really uses platoons into companies) |

"Troops, Weapons & Tactics" meets those criteria. |

Chain of Command would fit fairly well. Most sections are allowed to split into two teams (though not Russians or Japanese). Support is limited, so only a few vehicles or other support options (additional sections, support weapons, field defenses etc). 15mm is more or less appropriate to the ground scale, though many people play in 28mm. |

Crossfire is at that scale but players typically control a company. |

Bolt Action would fit the bill except that the figures are individual rather than multiple-figure elements. |

In the standard rules Blitzkrieg Commander is one stand = a platoon. Though people do play it at one-to-one. Also, Crossfire is one stand is a squad in the rules, but people also play it at one-to-one. For a listing of one-to-one skirmish rules see the first and maybe the second videos in this series on youtube

I second Battlegroup. A 'unit' is a single vehicle, gun, or squad of infantry. Games can be played from squad level to battalion sized. Really fun system. |

Thank you all for the suggestions. I aiming at three men a base. Maybe I end up designing my own set of rules :) williamb, these videos are fantastic! |

Reading through all the rules reviews, it seems that Force on Force is what will match the closest what I am looking for. Here is one review for those interested:

Good luck with your Force on Force gaming. I have the rules but have unfortunately never played them. Please do a review once you have a good handle on them. |
