I don't play WW2 these days but when I did I used Frank Chadwick's Command Decision series, best set out there and probably still is.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Emilio, where are you from?

At ARES, in Milano, we play Disposable Heroes, Battlefront (we are going to start a game tomorrow) and a home brew WW2 skirmish.

I like Nuts! a lot but Rules of Engagement is slightly better to me.

I'm coming to this conversation a bit late, but I must say that I am an IABSM fan.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the old version, and have put down my $$$ for the new version that was announced earlier this week.

Battlefield Evolution World at War for Platoon level in 15mm with support by choice
have tried and quite like Flying Lead but not enough to change

Nuts! for smaller solo squad encounters

Upgraded to Victory Decision but not played yet (loads of other gamees and boardgames in the queue first and only a weekly slot with my gaming chum means it could yet be a while)

and Operation Squad looks tempting.....

Not much WWII gaming of lately, although due to space constrains I think I will use Force on Force WWII supplement. The ability to have a game with just a platoon in a 3'x3' table is very tempting!

...I've not picked up VD from Agis yet (that sounds wrong) but I cant resist trying out new sets so I'm sure to get it soon.
...
Sounds strange indeed,  ;) :o
the most used abbreviation on the Victory Decision Child Board is ViDe...  8)

Just a short pointer to my ruleset.
The Victory Decision: World War II - Preview was released last weekend.


It is a FREE 20 page preview of the full Victory Decision: World War II rulebook. Check out some of the rules and get an idea of the clean layout and quality painted miniatures.
The quality of the preview pdf is a bit lower as in the actual book to ensure faster download.

You can download it from the A.D.Publishing website:
http://www.adpublishing.de/html/downloads1.html
or the Wargame Vault:
http://www.wargamevault.com/product_info.php?products_id=95655

There is also a Review of the Rules here:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=32246.0

Of all the rules mentioned I read and/or played most.
I can also recommend Disposable Heroes!

Emilio, check your mailbox.
I sent some info so we could organize a game.
