Easy Eight Battleground WWII info

[airbornegrove26]

Hi all!  I recently got a bit of nostalgia about WW2 gamin and especially these rules.  I was wondering if anyone knows or has any old official/unofficial rules that never made it into publication but was avaible on the website or any home brew stuff such as the:  The South Jersey Confederation of Wargamers (SJCW) web site at http://users.jerseycape.com/sjcw/resources.html is the home of the BG Book of Heroes,  BG Codex. Any info would be appreciated.

Did you try the Internet Archive? A lot of the old game websites from yesteryear can be accessed with it. I only play rulesets from the 1990’s, Battleground WWII included, so it is an invaluable resource for me. You can get lost for days, just going from link to link and rediscovering all the websites and webrings you remember from the Internet's "golden age."

Battleground WWII is very amenable to house rules and I have got my own that I prefer to use. When I read other people's house rules, there are some I like but a lot are badly thought out and don't add much to the game or unwittingly incentivize the wrong consequences. Battleground WWII was really the first "mass appeal" commercial WW2 ruleset so it attracted a lot of attention and had an enormous following, but not all fans are themselves brilliant game designers in the final analysis.

Also, good on you for picking up BGWWII again. It is still the King of skirmish WW2 games, all these years later. Nothing that has come out since comes even remotely close to how fun it is. I think this is because it is so granular, which makes it incredibly flexible and customizable, allowing you to run any scenario you can imagine and tell every kind of story.
