Thanks guys!

It looks like RoE and Disposable Heros are both good options for what I'm looking for. I do have Iron Ivan's F&I War rules, "This Very Ground" - I haven't played them yet, but they seem like they'd be fast and fun, but still "realistic".

Once I collect some vehicles, I'd love to include them in games (of course) - but not like 40k, with 4+ tanks per side on a 4x6 table. Something a little more "realistic" - probably more as part of a scenario.

I still need to look into Battleground WWII and World at War. I have seen Nuts, but I'm not a fan of 2HWG games (maybe because I haven't played yet...), and it seems best for really small games - smaller than I want to do.

I like RoE - more so since the Armoured Assault supplement came out!

If you choose BGWWII then be sure to swing by my forum and get tons of additional rules for WWII, Weird WWII and Superhero rules for the system.

They are free by the way ;)

our club plays disposable heroes with no problems with them so far, the only things we do is apply a little real world common sense to any rules that might seem iffy, which is easy enough to do if you have any knowledge on WWII and if you don't common sense still has its uses.

its not a ruleset thats very strict, nowhere does it say "YOU MUST DO THIS OR YOUR FAMILY DIES!!!" and its important the players have that same attitude, and aren't completely fixated by winning at all costs.

Definitely Too Fat Lardies - I ain't been shot Mum or Troops, weapons and Tactics; These work the best and are the most enjoyable.

The two games that I have tried using the Arc of Fire rules have been the best WW2 games that I have played with individually based figures.

The best WW2 games that I have played with multiple figures on a base have used an adaptation of Avalon Hill's old boardgames Squad Leader and Cross of Iron.
Sailors have more fun!
