Color me interested.

I go with Warbanner, if I remember write they might have mentioned something in one of their video blog things.

Hopefully there'll be additional sourcebooks etc to drive the timeline forward 😊

I'd say it's Warbanner or Empress. Who's it gonna be? Or am I way off the mark?

Id say warbanner too, they have the range already and the experience with small miniature range-accompanied rule sets.

Rules? No thanks, there’s enough out there for me.

But
....with a figure range from one of the best sculptors in the market....

Oh yes! :)

I am interested.

Would it make sense to consider  covering the wider Interwar period?

Figures that could be deployed across a  wider historical period would be attractive to me. I game the 1919 Sparticist revolt through the Tan Wars and IWI , a part based on history ‘Revolution’ conflict in GB and Europe , bit of Peaky Blinders up to Operation Sealion.

We all love more figures. Need more civilians, including vehicle drivers & passengers. Is Kev White going to sculpt them?

More rules? What for? Do we not already have enough? Are there no good rules anywhere in the below list?

Triumph & Tragedy
Chain of Command
Nuts!
The Sword to Adventure
Disposable Heroes
Bolt Action
Arc of Fire
Fireball Forward
Advanced Squad Leader
Pulp Alley
Setting the East Ablaze

I'm sure there are plenty of others.

Definitely intrigued.
Yes there are plenty of interwar rules out there, but how many of them specifically cater for the eccentricities of VBCW?
A new set of rules would need to handle poorly trained troops, lack of ammunition/fuel, mad inventions, unreliable armour/heavy weapons and such. Oh, and silly event cards!

Most of it is probably true to be fair  ;)

More rules, yes please we don’t have enough already!  ;D

I agree with Warrenpeace here lots of choice already (and easy to add any silliness into the more serious ones).

That said maybe these rules will be the ‘one‘ everyone loves and uses!

BTW by skirmish what are we looking at? Half a dozen men, a dozen, 30 or so just how many a side...
