40lb seems pretty steep. The way the models are lined up side to side on the game board reminds me of FOW units.

We've recently released BPM WWII rules.

Version 1.0 – The start of the best WWII rules ever? The rules are designed for 15mm (1:100 scale) models, but there is no reason they won't work at other scales as well.

Rules

The rules cover almost all aspects of WWII land combat, including infantry, guns, artillery, armor, recce, beach landings, defenses, a wide range of terrain types, destruction of buildings, air support, and much more.

These comprehensive rules have simple mechanisms that will allow you to getting playing quickly, and steadily realize the potential strategic and tactical options presented to you for game play.

Included with the rules:

  • The rules
  • A quick reference sheet
  • Points values for a wide range of WWII weapon systems (British, German, Japanese, Italian, Soviet and U.S.A.)
  • Stats information for those weapon systems needed to play the game
  • A small getting-started scenario to help you learn the game
  • standard games for casual club games or competition-style games
  • A paper copy of the markers needed to play the game

The standard game system includes 42 different game scenarios (6 standard game types and 7 standard scenarios, giving 42 possible combinations).

Ideal for competition games, scenario games, historical re-fights, small and large games.

Army lists and historical scenarios are also available.

Available printed and bound, or as a download.
