You were asked – TMP link What are the odds that you will purchase whatever the next WWII ruleset that is released? (Land warfare only.) 42% said "zero chance" 25% said "10%" 12% said "50%" |

My problem is you spend 50 or 60 dollars on a set of rules, they release a new version at another 50 or 60 and then another version…. . You can't afford things like that. |

No, I'm at the point where I have any rules I need. I can always tweak where needed. |

Agreed – I just bought the newest The Sword and the Flame but that was the first rule set I have bought in a long time – like nnascati I have all the rules I need |

I too have all the rules I need except for the right one. |

Not likely. I have rules I like for Ancients/Medieval/Renaissance, for 18th century, colonials and WWII to Moderns. They are all on the simple side. I would only buy a new set if it promises something simple and elegant. |

I still buy rules but they have to be rules printed before 1990. And they have to be at a good price. |

Unfortunately, I am probably stuck buying the occasional new set of WWII land rules until I find a set that satisfies me. I'm still looking for rules to play multiplayer maneuver games with players commanding at about a colonel's level (battalion to regiment, thereabouts). All games I've looked at so far are well below or just above this level of command, and tend to be heavily slanted toward 2-player play. - Ix |

Yellow Admiral - Try Kampfgruppe Commander. New players can easily handle a battalion, but it plays better if you're running a regiment. |

Also big fan of Kampfgruppe Commander. Main set we use and have even played a couple WWI games using the system. |

A ruleset for company-level actions with a 1;1 figure scale and a strong historical basis and simple procedures. I'd buy that like a shot. |
