Title: Rules for "A Very British Civil War"
Post by: privateer on 17 January 2011, 03:38:02 AM
Hello all

I am think about doing this as a bit of fun. I got the books from the guys in Scotland (I thinks and sorry if its not). But I was wondering about rule - what do people use for this

Regards

David

Rules of Engagement from Great Escape Games for 28mm skirmish.

Blitzkreig Commander II for larger scale actions, using the SCW stats as a guide.

Hope this helps :).

We use BKC II as well, works fine and is fun.

As Sandanista said the BKC 2 works well for VBCW. with a few tweaks for adding snipers, civilians and other funbits can be made in to a pretty good large skirmish game.
The wonders of 10mm means you can have lots of buildings and civilian stuff on the board without total bankrupcy 8)

Thanks for that, I have not read they but people keep talking about them, so worth a look.
I was thinking of Rapid Fire, a few years ago (pre FOW) we used Rapid Fire as the quick set in 1:1 scale and it worked well. one of the Magazines published a set of updates for Vehicles and Artillery which I would like to try and get again. they also published a bit of stuff on FPW as well.

I'm thinking of using Crossfire for battalion level actions, using some of the advanced rules from the Hit The Dirt supplement as well as the online SCW modifications as a template for the forces.
