is that a separate book from the core Bolt action rule book.
as i have a copy ofd the mini Bolt action rule book..

LGW

It is one of the additional books (also came in a box set with the mini rules, three M4s and two Panthers).

Adds more detailed crews and vehicle kit, and a vehicle rather than infantry orientated reinforced platoon (a command vehicle and two other vehicles makes up the minimum "platoon").

There is character building involved, so if you and yours are happy with Bolt Action then it is perfect.

Plus at 15mm and centimeter ground scale, you can play in a two foot by two foot square.

For 15mm WW2 at the company / Battle group level then Battle Front from Fire and Fury every time. 

However, a Maus tank takes you into either a very rare scenario or weir wars territory - can't help you there.

did you modify the rules to play tanks? eg the commander cards wouldn't really suit the characters from that series.

I'm not playing with the GuP group, but will ask.  I'm working on building out Oddball's platoon, though, and plan to use existing upgrade cards/points values and just changing the flavor text to be more appropriate.
