It's a very enjoyable set of rules, and plays a great game. Infantry aren't worthless by any means, in fact in good cover/prepared positions they are very hard to shift, but... once you get to mid to late war they're very badly outclassed as tanks become just as hard to kill, shoot better and can move without losing those advantages. After many, many games it gets wearing. We tend to use them for AVBCW as they feel very right with pre/early war rubbish kit, but have shifted back to Spearhead for "serious" WW2 gaming.

But - BKC etc have a handy simplicity that replicates command friction and outcomes quite nicely so I'd not object to a game with them even if I personally prefer other rules with a different level of focus and style of play

XCCAM - I'd recommend a copy, quite highly! Especially if the Battlegroup Generator is staying up - it's dead handy.

Thanks Pixie 

I find that whilst BKC is nominally pitched at one model/stand is a platoon, I think of it more as one to one - so one tank model is one real tank, one stand of infantry is a section etc. but unlike more detailed skirmish games it's abstracted enough to run what would be a company or battalion or more without being too detailed to play, or too broad that the figures are just "strength points". Feels really right for AVBCW where a whole faction can get "on table" and a squadron of ex-WW1 armoured cars becomes a fearsome opponent

Yeah I think they definitely work better for early war/SCW or as TP says VBCW

SCW
VBCW
AVBCW

Explain please?

The last two are  the same thing

I've used BKC a fair bit for 1943 Ostfront games and for 1944 Normandy (the latter in fairly close terrain) and it still pretty much works provided you rigidly enforce the inability to spot infantry in cover at any significant range.  There is a bit of an issue with how infantry AT weapons are allocated - basically I tend to be generous in my allocation to keep the armour honest in close terrain. In open terrain - eg the desert - infantry in the open are rightly stuffed by AFV HE and MGs.
