Combat HQ WW2 Wargame rules

[Mikelaf]

Hi,
Although this ruleset hasnt had a lot of publicity, i highly recommend anyone playing WW2 to take time to have a look. A new consolidated version 2 rulebook is in the final stages of production, so now is a good time to get involved.

Rules have bases set a platoon level and have the most intriguing command activation system i have ever come across which allows players to interact in short and long period bounds, which keeps everyone involved.

You can download a free sample of the rules by visiting wargamesdesign.com. While you are there take a look at the author Jim Bambra's pedigree of rule writing...

I have no connection or financial involvement with the rules but have been playing them for the last 12 months and feel its a shame others arent aware of them..

Take care,

Mike

Hi,
Combat HQ has now released its second version of the rules. Two books. Combat HQ second edition covering standard rules and Total War with all advanced rules adding beach landings, airdrops etc.
They are also three, free to download sets of stats for Commonwealth, Russian and German forces.

I still highly recommend these rules. Well worth a look.
