Title: Quick Review: Iron Cross WW2 Rules
Post by: Ferb on 10 December 2015, 05:11:18 PM
Hi all,

I've just added a first look at the new WW2 rules 'Iron Cross' to my blog. You can read the review here (http://ferbsfightingforces.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/quick-review-iron-cross-ww2-rules.html).
For those of you who don't want to follow the link they are a fast play set of rules which concentrates on tactical depth from the activation system. My verdict I like them and can't wait to get a game in using them.

There's not been much detail released about them but I gleaned enough to realise I needed them and a copy is on the way to me.

Mine arrived this morning which surprised me as they're not supposed to be released till 15th Dec.

What unit/ground scale are they?

I'm lazy, could find it for myself...

They will work for any scale.

I meant unit scale though - skirmish, squad, etc. How many men/vehicles to a base?

For 28mm they say 4/5 individual figures to a unit, 15mm 4/5 figures to a base so I think about the same would work for 10mm but as there is no casualty removal you could use whatever you want. Support weapons are 2/3 crew per base. Vehicles are 1 to 1.
An infantry unit is 25pts + 8pts to include a bazooka/faust
Tiger I is 102pts
PzIV 55pts
Sherman 75mm 45 pts
So depends how big a game you want to play, you can play massive games if you have the space.

Hi

The blurb says they cover 1944-45 with Tigers, Shermans, etc. Is there any coverage for early war/interwar/SCW?

Cheers

At the moment the only lists are late war but they say more are coming but the only thing you need to add are a few early war tanks to each list as everything else is there, half tracks/armoured cars/infantry etc
