I bought and have had painted up a dozen (each side) of the 1:48 Tactic figs. Very nice larger sized figs. 1:48 Tactic has its own rules, but I am trying to find something even more detailed. I'm thinking each player will only handle 1-3 figures on the table, so something a bit more RPG or like you'd see in a Wild West game. I have a Sherman and a Panther as well at the right scale to match. I have a bunch of skirmish rulesets, but have not played them all. Thoughts |

It Battleground is like that. |

NUTS! This would be my choice |

I have played NUTS and Battleground. Battleground is more what I am looking for, but I was thinking hit locations, etc since it's only a few figs per side. I have Solddat, but never tried it. |

It's OOP but The Face of Battle is a more detailed man to man in WW2 ruleset. I saw that the main rules and supplements are on ebay at a reasonable price. |

How many players?
If it's 2-3 others, then an RPG set of rules might be better: 6-9 minis as a squad playing against the NPC 'other side'. |

I love NUTS but it does not do wound locations. Really built for a player to run a platoon I think. In some sense hit location is irrelevant. You're either whole, ambulatory, wounded or dead. So for each hit you could just roll a d6. 1-2 dead. 3-4 ambulatory wound. 5-6 serious wound (out of the fight, needs a medic). Then two wounds of any kind is either a serious wond or dead. |

I have Face of Battle somewhere I will dig out. We probably play with 4. |

Five Men At Kursk written for 15mm I suggest at least doubling the scale or even triple |
| Thresher01 | 23 Jan 2023 11:21 p.m. PST |
They make and sell a D12 die to determine wound locations, if you want/need that. |

If you want the ultimate in detail then you should take a look at Final Combat by Britton Publishers. link Our gaming group has played it in 15mm, 20mm, 28mm and 54mm scales. |

+1 Bezmozgu7 Final Combat is super detailed. |

You could look at an oops board game by the late Craig Taylor called combat. The modern version was picked up by avalon Hill and called firepower also oop.. can run about 7 soldiers a side. Joe |

Face of Battle or Final Combat. |
| Thresher01 | 28 Jan 2023 1:48 p.m. PST |
Battleground. Tractics – the new, rereleased version, and/or the old one. Either one will work. |
