Winter War 28mm Kickstarter range

[Schrekenstein]

I've wanted to do Winter War for a while (and it is one of the only bits of WW2 that would look "right" in 28mm to me), but have been waiting for some decent figures to do it with - now they are on the way, and from a local company too!

Working on rules to use - I don't like Bolt Action and Arc of Fire - so current thoughts are Force on Force WW2 variant (as this really is an asymmetric war) or possibly Osprey's A World Aflame. Any other ideas?

Wargaming the Winter War offers chances for both asymmetrical and symmetrical battles. In the south the war was fought in very WW1-like manner, in the trenches whereas more north the motto-tactics and small unit skirmishes were used.

Great to see that kickstarter is going forward with good pace, would be nice to see more pics of the wip minis and concepts.

That's interesting!

But - i'd say - some link might be nice!

And, to have an idea of the (good) prices:



Personally, i won't take part in this, but still it's and interesting offer!

Have you tried 'Rules of Engagement'?

Have you tried 'Rules of Engagement'?

Watched a couple of games and it didn't inspire me - but thanks for the suggestion!

[Klingsor]

Without a moments hesitation Chain of Command as long as you want a realistic game.

I do not think the Finnish list is out yet but it is coming soon, certainly so by the time you get the figures. I went for the platoon of each deal specifically for use with Chain of Command.

I have heard good things about Chain of Command. I am looking forward to trying it out.

[Schrekenstein]

I'll give CoC a look - thanks for the replies!

Thanks for the posting Jack!

There will be lots more WIP photos after the weekend as I'm on the case - The stretch goals are dropping twice daily at the moment so I have lots to catch up on!

Here's a graphic of the stretch goals to give you :

Hi, Just wondering I have the folow question.

If I pledge for £60 do I receive all the reached pledge goals for free? Or have I missed something?

Cheers

From what I understand yes. You get the pledge goals for the army you pick. So, if you pick Finns, you would not get the Soviet Armored Car and Tank for example, but you would get the ski unit, bikes, artillery, calvary, etc..

Gav has now placed up additional KS goals and they are very impressive.

Well done Gav on what's going to look like a very successful project.

Cheers,

I think they are the best rules for WW2 platoon level action - far better than BA, but lacking the marketing machine behind them.

My Finns are all from Lon at Brigade. So if these match and can fill some gaps, or it inspires Lon to release some more, I'll be a happy bunny

Really like this KS.Even if Winter War isn't my favourite theater I think there's plenty of stuff coming that could be used for other theatres too.

This is tempting

Is there any concept art or greens of the White Death freebie? Who is the sculpter of these ranges?
