Hello everyone, Last Sunday I, Fabio (from TB Line) and Alessandro we took a demo table of ANTICAMENTE at "Hellana Games" a convention dedicated to wargaming...
Hi, My group has recently changed to play WWII using hex rules (Ambush Blitz) and we are really liking the simplicity. I was directed to this group from the...
Thanks. According to this site it uses the BattleCry system and you need the cards to play. BattleCry is the only one people seem to come up with :) I've...
The download file includes cards. I have seen several miniature games played at local conventions using the battlecry rules though I haven't participated and...
I have spent some time revamping and updating the PORTABLE WARGAME website to support the rather rapid growth in interest there has been in the rules recently....
Looks good. :) I'm considering trying out an idea I have for an octagonal grid system, and I think your Portable Wargame rules might be just the push I need to...
Richard Borg has a new board game with miniatures/miniatures game played on a grid, much in the same model as Command and Colors and Memoir '44. However, this...
Can you elaborate a little? I agree that measurements are not equal on the diagonal (as compared to the orthogonal), but I am not sure how it causes problems....
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/rivet-wars Rivet Wars is a board game adaptation of an RTS. Basically it is miniatures on a square-grid set...
... Actually, that sounds a lot like Peter Pig's WWII square-based rules (PBI II). You can make 1 diagonal move but the rest must be orthogonal. Same with...
Dick Bryant – the former editor and publisher of THE COURIER – has sent me scans of the Napoleonic rules used by Charlie and David Sweet. They are based...
Hello all, looking for suggestions for simple, solo-friendly WWII hex-based rules, preferably free, to tweak for use with 6mm figures. Card activation is OK,...
When you say "Memoir '44 style" do you mean it's command and control style? I ask because I have been working on some square grid rules that use battle dice...
Aaron, A few suggestions that I have been thinking about doing over the years (6mm on a grid or hex): Peter Pigs PBI is a grid based game - company level. It...
Hi Dale, Yes, "order three left" doesn't really appeal to me so much for WWII, but I have nothing against battle dice. I'm not quite ready to start playing yet...
Hi Shaun, Thanks for the tips. Another chap also recommended PBI, so I might have to investigate it further. Will take a look at your other suggetions, too....
... What is most import is the scale of game you want to play. My limitation is that I have a collection of troops based for Flames of War, and I do not want...
... I have had the PBI rules for several years now, but never played them, simply because my troops are based for Flames of War. PBI really wants you to use...
... Out of all the WW2 rules I have, these struck me as having simple easy to use, consistent mechanisms. So the solo friendly in this instance is more that...
Thanks, Dale. I had a look through your posts yesterday, and quite liked what you've come up with. I'm probably still a wee way away from actually gaming, but...
