Combat Patrol: WWII Skirmish
Price: £20.00 GBP
These rules feature the G.A.M.E.R. engine. G.A.M.E.R. is a unique skirmish system in which cards are used not just for activation but for all aspects of combat resolution and melee. No dice are used to resolve combat. Over three years were spent in development. The result is a system that flows smoothly and supports many-player gamers.
Combat Patrol is designed for playing platoon-level WWII actions, this is the same level of engagement as a Bolt Action game. Units in the game are around five figures and represent a fire team or half squad of infantry, a heavy weapons team, a vehicle or an artillery piece. Individual casualties are removed, so it is best to use figures on single bases. Any scale of miniature can be used, 28mm, 20mm or 15mm, so you can use the same wargames figures that you use for Bolt Action, Rapid Fire or even Flames of War!
Combat Patrol has been written by John 'Buck' Surdu, retired U.S. Army Colonel and prolific and innovative games designer whose previous works include Gaslight, Look Sarge No Charts, Fire Team Vietnam, Beer and Pretzels Skirmish, and many, many more. When you start to play Combat Patrol, you can tell that the designer has actually led a rifle platoon.

Pete Gilder's Legendary Colonial rules
Price: £25.00 GBP
Newly reprinted and back in stock! This was a project born out of nostalgia for the photographs from the old Wargames World and Wargames Illustrated, as well as stories from various expatriate wargamers who moved to Australia and re-told great stories about fighting the Mahdi with Peter Gilder at the Wargames Holiday Center. After gathering information, sheets, original source tables, and other files, the rules have been put together as close to the Gilder-style of game as possible.
The game comes with a 44-page gloss laminated booklet and a deck of random event cards. Six blank cards are included so players can tailor events and circumstances to suit your collections and gaming dispositions.
