Hey guys,
New guy in the forum! I joined the board because I got myself pulled into Pulp recently (and bought Artizan Thrilling Tales models, germans, stuff from Artizan and a fantastic Abomination (http://www.dark-age.com/store/images/dag3011.jpg) by Dark Age). The next thing I need is a good game. I do have .45 Adventures but I'm not a big fan of the game system. I am looking for a skirmish game with few miniatures on each side so I can play games similar to 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' or 'Indiana Jones'. Any good tips?
Thanks,
Marijn :)

Shame...

I don't know if it's good - though I like it - but you should try Chain Reaction II from TwoHour wargames (http://www.angelfire.com/az3/twohourwargames/cr2.htm) : the system is fun, pretty original, and is free :wink:

If you're looking more toward skirmish games and not adventure games, for Weird War II you could see what Westwind has out for their Secrets of the Third Reich game. For Indiana Jones, I would look at Triumph and Tragedy (promoted right here on this forum).
-
You can also try AE-WWII from Darkson Designs. You can download an starter ruleset from their website and then upgrade to their recently published rulebook.

Well hello fellow frother!

<(Yup we all get bitten by the Weird War bug eventually!). >
I blame agis. I went to his website for a codex on exodites, see the weird war stuff, and bam im hooked.

Astounding Tales!
You need Astounding Tales!
Good grief, don't the rest of you know that by now? :roll:
Do I have to come here and tell you that you need the rules written by my favourite game designer: me. :lol:
-
you really need them !
I have them too ! :twisted:

I strongly recommend SuperSystem!
It is a Superhero game but can be easily modified.
The upcoming Holiday special even has 3 linked weird war scenarios!
(see: http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=3399)

Thanks for the input and tips guys!
Supersystem eh...never thought about that one. I guess the 4-goal system is very suitable for this indeed! I do have a copy of SS2 at home so I'll keep that one in my mind :). I will also check out the other systems mentioned in the thread.
And I'm also working on a set of rules during my breaks at work by the way :). If I'll finish that one, I'll post it here.

SoTR won't work, its platoon sized. By small I assume you mean 5-20 in which case I'd advise AE WW2. Mind you plenty of rulesets are adjustable (Nuts for instance) into WW2.
-
I'd second the suggestion for Nuts! there are some files of Weird War stuff in their Yahoo Group you can use for Castle Wolfenstein.
Also Legends of the Old West from Warhammer Historical, a nice simple system that works well for Pulp and Weird War games.

Two Hour Wargames (http://www.angelfire.com/az3/twohourwargames/nuts.htm) : based on CR2, but in a WWII setting.

You will also want to take a look at the Two Hour Wargames Yahoo Group.
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/twohourwargames/

and their CR2 is available for free now:

HIYA Marjin!
Another free download is over at Pulp Figures...
http://www.pulpfigures.com/download.php?custID=12202192151196350720
RUGGED ADVENTURE may fit the bill.
Chain Reaction is FREE now? Egads, I spent 20 bucks on in less than a year ago!

Pick up the most excellent WWII skirmish game Battleground WWII by EEE and then swing over to my site for all the free weird you could ever want. Did I say FREE! Battleground WWII is by far the best 25-28mm skirmish game I have ever played and the rules allow for limited role play with just a simple rule. Check us out,
Brian
