Title: Crush the Kaiser
Post by: vonlacy on 03 March 2015, 11:26:36 PM
I have bought a copy of Crush the Kaiser 1914-1915.
I like the look of them but think I will multi base the figures in squads rather than individually base each one.

Anyone played these rules?

My alternative rules would be probably Red Actions or Die Fighting.

Any thoughts?

I must admit I hadn't heard of them before but they sound interesting

I bought a copy at Broadside in Sittingbourne last year and have played them once. My WW I is all 6mm and I have four Irregular blocks on a base and two of these is a battalion. I counted each base as 2 Fire Points and it seemed to work okay. The games they were displaying had all the troops individually based if that helps at all.

"Individually based" = instant turn off. I have tackled this in Dux Britanniarum by substituting one 28mm infantryman on a penny with three 10mm figures and one 28mm cavalry figure with two 10mm on a 2p.

I think the rules were originally intended for 28mm actions hence the reference to individual basing, like you we are looking at grouping figs to an element, five figs to a 40 x 20mm base, 4 bases to a company, 16 bases to a battalion. Just started so no pics but loving the figs, rules and scale
