WWII ARMOR SKIRMISH RULES:
MODERN LAND WARFARE:
Battle Captain

I recently purchased Battle Captain from Bruce Conard.

First, let me tell you about customer support. It is awesome. I emailed Mr. Conard a few questions after reading the rules, and was answered promptly. The extensive data cards did not cover a couple of my favorite vehicles. Mr. Conard made some and emailed them to me. He also emailed me scenario material including force structure and map.

Now about the game: It is very quick playing and fun. I have played several company sized attacks against platoon defenses in about 2 hours a game. A company sized recon/counter recon battle took a little longer as much more maneuver was involved, and recon forces are by nature reluctant to sit and slug it out. The sequence plays intuitively and smoothly.

I know many gamers seem to shy away from tactical level games, but this is one game that is enjoyable and is worth giving a try. Because of the tactical scale, gamers can purchase figures from several nations in modern and W.W.II flavors to vary their games. You do not need to commit massive resources into an army that is only good for 1 or 2 scenarios. This ability for players to fight battles from many fronts and time periods (W.W.II to present) at a small price per unit makes this game a winner.
