Hi, just wanted to let you all know - Great War Spearhead II is almost ready for print (I am the author) they will be a stand alone set. I am hoping to make the official announcement in the next 4 weeks (if all goes well).

Where can we get it from? Is there any scenarios? What period of the war can it be used  for?

Please

Will let you know more about where you can get it when we get the printing finalized.

It contains six scenarios - Race to the Sea (Hypothetical 1914), Trebizond (hypothetical Russian/Turk), The Somme X Corps (Thiepval Woods etc) 1916, Mons (BEF/Germans) 1914, Brusilovs Offensive (Russians and Austro-Hungarians) 1916 and Belleau Wood (US Marines vs Germans) 1918.

Can be used from Russo-Japanese War right up thru the Polish/Russian War and everything in between. Game is large scale - one stand equals up to 250 infantry, 2 to 8 MGs or Trench Mortars, 2 to 8 artillery pieces or 2 to 5 vehicles.

That sounds good. I am just about to start a 10mm collection for Ww1, I am caught between 10 and 15 actually and which one to choose. How many figire to a Battalion or brigade?

[Shawnt63]

Its up to you how many figs you put on a stand - in 10mm I would recommend 4 or 5, in 15 I use 2 but some use 3.

Although there is no real norm as it varies - as a guiding principle an Infantry Regiment/Brigade consists of 12 Infantry companies, 1 to 3 MG sections, 1 to 3 Trench Mortar Sections and a HQ Company. Three of these (or four depending) will make a division but you need to add in 3 or 4 regiments of artillery (each regiment will have between 2 and 4 batteries - so that would be 2 to 4 gun models) but there are usually engineer/pioneers and cavalry elements that are attached to the various Infantry regiments.

Hope that helps?
