The acronym BGMR stands for Battle Group Modern Rules, there is a modern set and a WWII set. That's the one I pointed you to.

True, sorry, I forgot to say that we want something in the company-battallion level. BC sounds good... more?

Company scale - Crossfire.
Battalion scale - Spearhead (best WWII rules available).

If you wanna play Farty Kay in WW2 clothes then agreed, Flames of War is indeed the way to go.

User Warning!! "Any resemblance between this game and WW2 is entirely unintentional, and in no way reflects the plans/machinations of the company known as Battlefront."

Stuff all the overpriced commercial rule sets. It just leads to rule lawyers and "Oh but that was only true in v4.2, we're using 4.3 with the Mega Apocalypse add on."

That's basically the same as mentioning 'female space marines' on a 40k forum.

That's because 40k forum members haven't touched a girl yet other than their own mums and aren't likely to in this lifetime or the next... :D

If you buy BKC it is very important that before opening the covers you TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND BURN IT.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Please excuse LH for his tantrums >:(- Its just he has been very unlucky on BKC games at club :d

No doubt he will start extolling the virtues of "Two Fat Lardies" rulesets. Especialy Troops, Weapons and Tactics.


LH is a religious man.  O:-) He prays like this

Our Two Fat Lardies in heaven,
hallowed be your rules.
Your rulesets come,  your games  be played,
At home and club as they are heaven.
Give us this day our set of cards , and forgive us for playing other rules
as we also have forgiven those who play them .
And lead us not into the temptation of BKC, but deliver us from the evil of GW

Amen   :d :d

The cynics are right nine times out of ten. -Mencken, H. L.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well. - Robert Louis Stevenson
