After seeing 101 posts on the Modern Miniature Warfare group on Facebook asking "What rules should I play?" I decided to write an article to help answer it.... and then this happened.

That is a very nice rules comparison, really useful- thanks.

It was an interesting read, thank you for sharing!

I would like to add only one suggestion for making this overview a bit more comprehensive.
It would be great if you added information about presence or absence of campaign and experience system in rules mentioned.

Thanks everyone.

@Nimrod
It looks like I'll be making a Part 2 to add a few little bits to the overview. I'll add that information to it

I've added a new appendix to the comparison, now covering campaign rules and scenarios

Nice work, very useful for newcomers! But I was slightly disappointed to see you only covered 'skirmish' games!

Must admit, this is down to mainly playing games at 28mm and anything above skirmish would require more figures than I own

There is a rules review repository at Extra Crispy's site that includes larger scales.
He covers many periods but is a frequent poster on the GHQ (6mm) Models forum, and definitely does large scale moderns.

Added a final appendix with my personal feelings on the different rules http://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2017/01/09/tgbmwrc-appendix-2-personal-thoughts/
