Easy Eights Battleground WWII rules for Vietnam
« on: July 18, 2022, 11:33:15 PM »
Over 20 years ago I had, and still have the core rules of Battleground WWII.  I had a pre-order for their up coming Vietnam rules but the company folded.  I know there are some people who have the play test rules, if someone has a copy to give I would like one.

Well.... yes it is 20 years later but Battleground Vietnam is finally being published. The release date is September 1st 2022. The new version of the rules have been updated to be a more modern set but still have all the core essence of the original rules set, we renamed it to BattlegroundHD to reflect this. 

Here is the cover art:



If any of you are interested in gaming the new rules we will be at GenCon in August and are running several games.

Thank you very much for the reply and the good news.  Anyway I can get a copy of the old Nam rules for my collection of Battleground WWII?  I’m going to post this to my Facebook group, the Northern New York Wargaming Group.

Thank you very much.  Battleground WWII was my first set of skirmish rules that I got involved in after my exit from the Marine Corps, I hadn’t war gamed at that point in over 15 years, your rules gave me a lot of fun and enjoyment while I was dealing with a divorce, separation from the Corps and transitioning into law enforcement.  Where can I buy a copy of the new rules, and what will be in the new rules.

Oh very cool, I had a dog eared old copy of the WW2 rules that got lost in my recent move to Virginia. What production company will you guys be saleing the rules name under?
