WW2 Rulesets - Wotcha Playing?

[Hertsblue]

Dan,
Are those the same one Robin used to use all those years ago?  Stettin bridge etc?

Until Batman stood on the bridge...

No, completely different, these have a higher level of abstraction especially at the Command and Control level and are intended for big games in 10mm we've played big chunks of Kirsk.  This puts most of the fighting on average units but allows specialists to have local influence.

[DanJ]

No FOW influence?

I don't think so, they're slow but not that slow

Dan,

Are there any pics of these divisional level 10mm games?  I'm salivating just thinking about it.  For that matter, the rules too!  I'd love to see the mechanism(s) to move a division-level game at a quick clip.  Thanks in advance!

V/R,
Jack

I'll ask arround about the pictures but I'm not sure there are many, the Kursk game was played on two 16x8 table, one for each German division and they weren't very photogenic.

I'm not sure the rules are actually written down in much more than quick play sheet format to govern turn sequence ranges etc.

But I'll see what I can get hold of.

No sweat, I appreciate it Dan.  For what it's worth, neither I nor my stuff is telegenic either, and all my rules exist as a scattering of loose-leaf papers,* so I know what you mean.

*Even when using 'standard' rules such as BKC, Crossfire, Chain of Command, etc..., I always make my own quick reference sheet(s), which all end up getting mixed up in the heat of battle (dice rolling).

V/R,
Jack
