Dave, looking at how many people has joined in this group after your advertising on TMP (myself included), I think that Assault Gun could well deserve now a...
Hi all, been joined for a while, mostly just reading the discussions ;) Do you do anything differently for playing solitaire? Or just the same. The one thing...
The orders optional rule is basically a rip-off from a concept in the "spearhead" rules system. In that, you draw a map as to where the organisations are to go...
That's neat I had actually thought that the "orders" were more to different units of the division (attack <i>x</i>, hold objective, advance, etc) and that the...
Perhaps in extreme cases, I would agree with a forced retreat move. (maybe during the retreat phase, if a division has lost x % of SPs (maybe 60-70% would be a...
Let us know how it goes! ... (maybe during the retreat phase, if a division has lost x % of SPs (maybe 60-70% would be a good number?), then it must retreat,...
I'm new, first post. I like the look of the rules, though I have not yet found time to playtest. I wonder whether the regulars could answer a question of mine...
I'm still undecided whether the Soviet organisations should put regiments on small bases and brigades on large. Any advic would be appreciated. I've been...
hello Just my few øre worth, at corps and army level at least a division is a division! They still have the same frontage - but a lot less combat power. But I...
Thanks for the advice Peter. I've seen the newsreels with endless streams of Ivans pouring forward to expel the fascist invader from the motherland. I figured...
There is no simple answer to this question. As with the Germans, the Red Army formations (units are tactical) tended to be beefed up for offensives, and...
Thanks for the suggestion Greg, On the units/formations distinction, I've rarely played at the level addressed by assault gun, so I'm grateful for the...
I've scanned the rules, and thought about fielding some forces in 6mm ~= 1/300 scale. Relatively few pieces are required for a Corps. So I am considering using...
Sorry for the self plug here but, I put a bunch of auctions(35) of GHQ 1/285 , 6mm modern Soviet, Us, and British lots on Ebay. Also there are some WW2 ones....
I use model trucks for log - unbased as I can then place them on other units to indicate their supply status. Works well & makes LOG easy to keep track of....
There is currently a discussion on another microarmour group dealing with operational level modern games. we haven't got so far as representing logistics, but...
Sounds good - but beef up the Log for assault units. At present the rules call for half of LOG to be eliminated, but I was thinking that maybe LOG used by...
There is a conversion from Megablitz to AG in the files section. AG treats a soviet division like any other division. A 1942 Soviet infantry regiment would...
Thanks dave, that's precisely the sort of thing I was thinking of. It requires a little forethrought to leave a truck shaped gap on the base. I'm thinking of...
Dave, Artillery is a combat arm, and requires as much if not more Log support as any other combat unit. These days many armoured SP artilery comes with a...
I think he is suggesting that LOG used by artillery be removed entirely, as opposed to just half, meaning that artillery uses MORE log than other units (since...
Yes, that's right - although the firepower of an artillery regiment is high, I am loathe to assume that their LOG usage should be the same as an entire...
Hello all Well, one of the reasons the Germans had such larger material losses at Stalingrad, was that the prime movers had been withdrawn to areas where there...
That clears that up then. When I get round to an official edit, I will change the rule so that all artillery LOG are used up, but LOG for other units is 50%...
Dear All, At present the rules are as a pdf file. I am however interested in presenting them as a word document so that anyone can make variations. This site...

I just downloaded the rules, and am poring over them. I'm liking what I see so far. But where are the stats for some of my favorite equipment? I'm not ...
I looked over the rules and could not find a stand size. I am going to be using 15mm. For a Inf Bn what size should the stand be? If it is in the rules, where...
