Is there anyone who has played this? I'd like to get some or any feed back. Thanks!
I should be painting right now.

I'm a massive fan of them (probably the ruleset I play most often)

They look a little intimidating when you first pick them up but once you've played it once all the rules will start coming together pretty quickly. The action gets pretty lethal if you're not in cover (especially when it comes to explosives). Characters are detailed with different skill levels and generated statlines allow for some variation from character to character.

Ruleset is presented with a focus on Afghan battles but I've used it for things in Africa and even cops and robbers.

I've played a few games with chargedog  and I have to say it's really good.  It can initially seem daunting with modifiers but you pick them up very quickly.  It makes for a very different game from the usual as it's about small squads and you really care about the individual troops. 

Let me put it this way, I always look forward to the next game.

I would echo the above. I am interestedto see what they do with the development of platoon level game, being a collector I can never stop buying toys and have a platoon of USMC plus support and vehicles😜

Bought rules some time ago, still waiting to play.

Guess it could be nice game focused on small unit action like operation squad for WW2 and comparing to FoF it could be played on smaller table with less figures which is some relief for me:)

Thanks for the comments . I've read through the rules and like what I've seen. Hopefully I'll round up some players soon. Anyone in the Tampa Bay Area ? Lol
