Does anyone know of an UK supplier for these rules?
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

Don't know of any Eruopean suppliers but since the US dollar is tanking it is a perfect time to pick them up from the US.

Below are a few US on-line shops that sell both the rules and minis.

Check out the forum for all your weird war II-ing.  Now chess is a game that my 10 year old nephew can smack me around at but I always show him up in Crossbow and Catapults and Torpedo Run so I think we know who come out on top of that. :'(

Wasn't someone selling all the rules together on a DVD?  Getting all the books would cost you an arm and a leg...

I seem to remember these rules going out of production and then they were offered on DVD for a pretty good price.

The only sets you need are the core rules set and the Tankers Challenge set.  In fact I have a few of both on CDROM I got from a guy at a convention a few years ago and if anyone wants them shoot me a PM.  The only problem seems to be that the core set's scenarios are missing or corrupted but the rest of the set is fine.  There is nothing wrong with the Tankers Challenge set however.  I think I have about 4 of each left so let me know.

Easy Eight use to sell all there rules sets on CDROM in PDF format but now it's all in print.  The one good thing about the PDF is that you can print it up as much as you want.  Guess that's also why they stopped selling them like that to huh?

If you want to read a review of BGWWII check out my blog link below, it will highlight the good and bad about the system.  This system in my opinion is the best skirmish system out there that gives you the ability to perform real world tactics and allows for limited role play that would liven up any normal WWII game or make your Weird War II gaming that more weirder.

My father purchased several CDs from them a while back.  He purchased the core rules, and two scenarios, Normady Nightmare and Crusade for Empire.

Unfortunately the discs are complete crap and he gave them to me to try to salvage the data from them.  I was able to get all of the core rules, but I had no luck on the two scenario CDs.  I've tried contacting the company now publishing them and they refuse to replace the CD or anything.  They claim that "The CD went bad."  I tried to explain that it's not produce, but a CD, and CDs don't "Go bad".  I have a Windows 3.1 disc from 16 years ago that is just fine.

Anyway, I'm looking to replace these discs and if anyone has a copy they can spare please let me know.  I'm also happy to help replace corrupt files from the core rules CD.

Thanks

EEE-1004 Normandy Nightmare
EEE-1006 Crusade for Empire
EEE-1007-Men_of_Honor
EEE-1009 Rage on the Reich
and the core rules.
I'm willing to trade I too, so anybody who is interested can send me an e-mail for trading working copies. :D ;)
Thanks.
Bye.

I have several copies of the rulebooks in PRINT form. These are ring bound. I should have at least the basic rulebook, Tankers Challenge, Panthers East, 'Pacific thingy', Red Devils, Rage on the Reich, Normandy nightmare etc. Some books I have in multiples. Will accept paypal etc. If you want some, please PM me. Posting from Finland.
