Reply To: World War II project, with some nostalgia

[Nathaniel Weber]

Hi Just Jack,

I plan on a trio of rules sets for WWII:

1. For small scale skirmishes, 1:1 (platoon, reinforced platoon a side with some armor max), I think I’ll use a set I’ve been working on for Vietnam, expanded to be playable for WWII as well.
2. For platoon to company sized actions, with half squads and weapon teams as the main maneuver elements, I’ll use my rules A Sergeant’s War (they were written for this anyway!) However, those rules are somewhat crunchy, so for big convention games and really fast play…
3. …I’ll go with Hammer of Democracy, to let me do big, fast, messy combined arms games.
