Rules…
Battlegroup: Tobruk General overview of the early North Africa campaign (plus Crete). Special rules for African campaign, plus nine army lists, including alterations to the army lists to play the battles of the East African campaign. $38.00 USD
General D'Armee: Rules for Age of Napoleon No set figure scale, battalions as its tactical units, no morale phase and command, and control system that concentrates on taskings and actions for brigades, as well as certain brigade orders. Firing for all troops types is particularly streamlined and simple to run through, with just negative modifiers, thus making it far easier for players to apply. Positive modifiers are achieved by simply adding casualty dice, which hit on a straightforward score of 4, 5, or 6. In addition to this, there is no figure removal – the rules represent battlefield attrition, and as you move through the casualty levels, a unit's overall battle performance will decline across the board in firing, charge combat, melee, and morale. $38.00 USD
Sword & Spear Fantasy: Rules Based on the Sword & Spear ancient and medieval wargames rules. Turn structure is unusual compared to many other games, but once the activation mechanics are understood. it is soon picked up. When a unit is activated, it does all of its actions for the turn, so there is not the usual turn sequence of move units, missile shooting, melee combat that you get in many other games. Movement and combat mechanics have been kept simple, so that the focus of the game is on command and control. After a game or two, it can be played with only the occasional reference to the rulebook. $26.00 USD
