FOW? and other rules.

[Hurley]

Has anyone ever done FOW in 10mm? If so how did you do the basing?

Also what other fun WW2 rules are out there.

[sertorius]

IABSM by too fat lardies is a fast and fun company level game. A pendraken army would cost about £12 depending on what you wanted.

[Nosher]

Blitzkrieg Commander is a great set and largely based on 10mm as a scale

[Leon]

We get a lot of people using our stuff for FoW, but I'd have to check on the basing sizes.

[MiniPatton]

I'll second Blitzkrieg Commander

[Eldamarelf]

Spearhead with some club modifications, we like this set as it is fairly quick and fun to play plus we usually get a 18 - 24 foot by 6 table done over a weekend last game was the battle of Prochorovka which was a very full table of 14' x 6' oh and as the umpire i was totally impartial even though my ruskies kicked butt. I will try to upload some pictures as soon as I get a chance.

Blitzkrieg Commander for me - it was *great* originally & now it's *stunning* in 2nd edition

Are you talking about the rules, or all your nice figures in the pictures?!

Fow is one of the wost WWII rule sets ever written. 

Blitzkrieg Commander however is excellent and designed for 10mm figs.

Examples of our stuff here...http://www.durhamwargames.co.uk/battle_reports/2010/02/index.asp

Blitzkreig Commander or else...or is that a bit too demanding?

[Ben Waterhouse]

I've got BKC version 1. Now then as I only bought it a year ago should I get version 2?

Up to you really.

2nd Ed. dosn't make any fundamental changes but puts in a lot of little tweaks that smoothe over some of the issues. 

We upgraded, but its not essentially really.

The one thing i was surprised at is that the Future War skirmish rules haven't been developed into the other periods and 2nd Ed.  I think they have real potential to challenge Legends of the Old West as a top skirmish set.

I like Spearhead. The only drawback is that the overall commander who gives the order has the most fun because he plans the strategy. However, with that said, if the goal is to try to re-enact history or the like, you will have fun. If you like to nitpick the rules just to win, you will not fully enjoy Spearhead.

My group is doing Spearhead. We are trying to do the war 75 years later. In September - November we did Poland 1939, We just finished Winter War 1940. I am gearing up for Norway in April, then France and the Low Countries through this Summer.
