WWII rules with 1 base=1 squad ?

[blacksmith]

Sorry if this has been asked before (probably) but could you name rulesets for WWII in which one base/stand represents one squadron?
I can only recall Poor Bloody Infantry and Crossfire and I'm very interested in knowing other ones.
TIA

The GHQ rules are. Not sure if you are looking for small scale minis, too. 

Also, available for a free download:

Thank you Grant. I'm planning to game with 10mm and at company level with supports.

You could easily use the GHQ rules for that, actually. Could even expand to battalion ...

edit: sorry, GHQ are 1 stand: 1 platoon/troop of armour. A bit more condensed. Still ...

Actually, GHQ has two WW2 land rules - Micro Squad is set at the one base = one squad level you are looking for. They can be had for free from Wargame Vault:

Fireball Forward and Battlefront: WWII also come to mind.

Hope that helps,

Wasn't Fireball Forward similar to Squad Leader? Already downloading Micro-Squad. Thank you!

You are right - the authors used Squad Leader to develop FF, but it is not as detailed as Squad Leader. FF has a strong Crossfire feel to it. It's a really nice system, IMHO. The authors had a test kit on their website with the basic infantry rules in it - I don't know if it is still up.

Spearhead uses 1 base=1 unit; I believe its intended for actions at regimental to corps level. I've never played it myself, but I have friends who like it a lot. It has variants for WW1 up to Modern.

You can do it with my WWII rules too, I have a whole section in the book how to use multibased infantry stands in Victory Decision.
http://www.adpublishing.de/html/victory_decision.html
The rules cover individually based infantry miniatures and also group- or multibased miniatures, aka Infantry Stands. While designed with 20-28mm miniatures in mind the Victory Decision game system is flexible enough to handle any miniatures from 6mm to 32mm. So whatever your existing miniature collection consists of, you can start playing right away.

Spearhead is one stand = a platoon scale. Blitzkrieg Commander 2 has 1 stand = 1 platoon as its basic scale but there are options for playing at 1 stand = 1 squad too. Crossfire is 1 stand = 1 squad but may no longer be available. Fistful of TOWs3 also has options to play 1 stand = 1 squad, despite the name FFT3 has stats for playing WW2 as well as moderns.

Thank you very much for the imput guys, keep it coming
I'm interested in specifically designed games for company level with 1 stand 1 squad and I own Crossfire and PBI. I think I'm going to try FBF as I have fond memories of Squad Leader but didn't want to play it again for being so complicated.
Cheers,

Battlegroup Panzergrenadier is my current favourite for this level of representation but I've not 'upgraded' to the deluxe version as yet

Think they have now dropped the Battlegroup part of the name perhaps to avoid confusion with the system from Ironfist Publishing.

Do you know of any review or BATREPS of this ruleset?

[Captain_Hook]

Rapid Fire is rule set where 8 to 10 figures represent a company
