I'm going to start with GHQ NATO vs. Russians and i'd like to acquire a set of rules that are not heavy with detail, and will allow 1:1 battles. Tank oriented as much as possible, as I won't buy infantry to begin with. Thanks in advance. |

Seven Days to the Rhine. I play in 15mm and it's a hoot. You do need markers though and that could hinder the look of 1/285. |

I love Fistful of Tows 3. I often teahc the game with just tanks and AT guns and it plays great. Then you can add in all the fun chrome – infantry, artillery, air etc. Plus it covers everthign from WW1 to almost the present day and all the stats and army lists are included. FFT3.com |

I just picked up FFT3 and will be trying my first game next week. Note it is written for 5 to 1 but can be played 1 to 1. Others that I have played and like are Fields of Fire, and Saber Squadron Seven Days to the Rhine is on my list of ones to try. |

Team Yankee could be a good choice and should be easy to find other players. It's officially for 15mm scale but actually looks better (less crowded) in 1/285. |

Theron Does the Team Yankee WW III rulebook have cards that I can copy. I'd like to do this in 1/285 scale, but i'd rather not have to shell out for Russian and U.S. cards. |

Yes the rule book has card images and lists for the basic US and Soviet forces in it. So you can play with just the rulebook. |

+1 Fistful of Tows 3 I will play Team Yankee. It's a good game.
FFT3 is my preference of the two. |

Thanks for all of your replies. |

FFT is the obvious best choice. It is great for Tanks but bad for infantry battles |
