Hi,
what are the rules you use with yours Pendraken figures ?

For me :

- Might and Reason for WSS, SYW and FPW

And I would like use Black Powder for FPW and Crimean as soon as we could find some Crimean french.  ;)
I want buy some fabntastic AWI range but I don't know what rules to use.

And you, yours rules ?
Thank you

Tried Black Powder as well but it's not a very realistic game for me definately a put em up and knock em down set; fun I'm sure.

British Grenadier works well for AWI. Its quite complex though (based on GdB) so not to some peoples tastes. I'm using the 15mm basing and that looks about right with the 10mm figures (in fact i think that 15mm figures would look too squashed together on the sizes given). Or you could use the 25mm basing and have really big battalions. The main issue with that would be that BG counts the number of figures firing so you would need to adapt the ratio.

Interesting.

In what way do you think they're broken?

Some friends and I have used Spearhead a couple of times for our WWII Eastern Front games.

On the plus side we love the command system which is both 'realistic' and fun to work with. Commanders give written (or rather: drawn) orders to their subordinates before the start of the game. These have to be obeyed even if the tactical situation changes, unless commanders produce the required D6 throw to give them new orders.

On the downside the operational rules are a bit too rigid to our taste. Limited arcs of fire, static positions, some punishing modifiers for the Soviet players and too little diversity of speed and range for various vehicle classes.

Apparently Spearhead has the same tendency as FoW to result in more or less static clusters of hardware on the table slugging it out from behind hill tops and hedges and such. Tank formations usually advance like ships in line abreast because columns carry no positive movement modifiers unless on roads. Some thinking is clearly needed here - most probably on my part.

I've never heard of Storming the Reich rules. Could you tell me a bit about them, please?

Cheers,

Greetings

Rules for my 10mm:

1.  Blitzkrieg Commander for WW2 Eastern Front (and Desert when built)
2.  If the Lord Saves Us for WWI Mesopotamia (platoon per stand - so roughly an Imperial brigade vs Turkish regiment plus supports)
3.  Poleaxed 2 for late mediaeval
4.  not yet sure for FPW

Of course a lot of the armies are still being painted ...

Regards

Edward
