What were the most popular modern/Cold War tabletop minis rulesets played in the 1990's in your experience? |

We stopped playing "moderns" in the 90s. In the 80s we played GDW Tacforce or WRG Armor and Infantry 1950 – 1985. |

WRG 1950-1985, hands down (and not the awful 1950-2000 set which bunged up a lovely set of rules and made them as unplayable as Challenger :) ) |

GDW Combined Arms (Command Decision)
Modern Spearhead
Fist Full of TOWS
Engage and Destroy just to name a few |

Combined Arms
I think WRG was more popular in England. |

Spearhead was the first thing that popped into my mind. As noted above, it may depend on which side of the pond you are on. |

Used Threat rules, but they were from before the Gulf War. |

Interesting stuff, please keep the titles coming if you think of more! |

I don't think Modern Spearhead came out until the 2000s, as did Cold War Commander. Prior to that, WRG, although I mainly played GDWs "Assault" |
| Andrew LA | 31 Aug 2022 3:12 a.m. PST |
I played Combined Arms (modern version of Command Decision) and then Modern Spearhead when it came out in early 2000s |
| Captain Avatar | 31 Aug 2022 3:38 a.m. PST |
GDW's Combined Arms. Everything from tanks, off board artillery, forward air controllers, and electronic warfare. |

Combined Arms
I think WRG was more popular in England. Interesting, thanks for this observation. |

Fistful of Tows for tank battles. Infantry is so-so. |
| Tgerritsen | 31 Aug 2022 8:02 p.m. PST |
In the 80s I played Leopard Tracks and Combined Arms. Then maybe Chieftain, though I didn't like that. |

UK. WRG up to early 80s. Pretty much stopped after that. Would definitely use again for period. |

Timelines "Close and Destroy"….Loved them… |

Combined Arms released detailed TOE's and OB's for Desert Storm – both sides, so they were around before '91. We switched from Combined Arms to Modern Spearhead when these came out. Still playing it. |

I own/owned many different sets of Modern minis rules but only played GDW's Combined Arms and the Threat Rules that Major Mike mentioned above on a regular basis – got them at Ft Riley with from the author Gary Mills |
