Title: Looking for skirmish level WW2 rules
Post by: Dante904 on December 10, 2018, 07:58:22 AM: Hey!
Can anyone suggest skirmish level rules, scaled at 5-10 miniatures per player (squad level)?
Looking for a break from regular Bolt Action and Chain of Command games. Small personalized forces, preferably with some king of experience or leveling up you troops between games. Something like Killteam for warhammer.

Post by: Ballardian on December 10, 2018, 01:06:50 PM: Operation Squad Evolution (Torriani Games) is an excellent squad-level ruleset, I also like Normandy Firefight & though I haven't played it, I-48 looks decent.

Why not just adapt that if it does what you want? It would not be like working with Quantum Theory as your model I'm sure.

Fistful of Lead WW2?

That's a really good idea, I may have to try that myself. Fistful of Lead WWII would be pretty easy to convert with the new Galactic Heroes version.

Panzerfauste

I would say Panzerfauste too. Not tried the latest version but the original worked well, probably only works with small forces (less than 10 figures per player).

And Radio Dishdash just announced that their new game Skirmish Normandy is at the printers and should be out soon.

I am reading this rulebook right now, the PDF version, and I like it a lot. The first scenario in the boom is about a patrol of three US Grunts scouting German positions, and I am now thinking how to advance carefully...
