Anyone here play I Ain't Been Shot Mum and Battlegroup? Which do you prefer? I have some experience in IABSM but the rules leave me wanting more. They aren't horrible at all, but armor rules seem kind of weak and the book is poorly laid out. |

Our group had the same experience with Battlegroup. It had some interesting ideas (the morale chit pull, treating air and artillery as random events) but somehow just never felt quite right, we kept house ruling things til we just moved on… |

… Moved on to what, EC? Just out of interest. |

I quite enjoy the older (2nd) Edition of IABSM, although I don't play much at that level (company) anymore. |

There is a very good Battlegroup page on facebook,the authors are on there all the time to answer questions. If you don't do facebook you can go here: link I tried numerous ww2 rules before i found Battlegroup and now its the only set i use.
I'm strictly a solo gamer and Battlegroup gives me exactly what i was looking for in a game(easy to remember rules,historically based army lists, squad,platoon or company size games and it covers almost all the theaters of the war) Downside is the theater books frequently sell out and can be hard to find. |

Big fan of Battlegroup rules. Love the theatre books and smooth play. |

@Advocate: We went back to playing either my modified Flames of War: link Or a set our friend was writing called "Men against Steel" |
