    I told Sam I’d buy it on the strength of Scharnhorst alone! I use a modified version of the FPGA campaign rules to run linked games, so a mature system sounds too good to be true. The tactical rules are the bonus for me

    I’ve started listing the above on Evil Bay.  First up are the Confederates, which I have broken into lots.

    This link will lead to one set; use ‘view other items’ to see the rest.

    Hello Ivan

    i use irregular patches of green felt with a single base of 2-3 trees on each patch, so the more dense the wood the more tree bases go on, but you can still move figures about between them

    i use woodland scenics plastic trees stuck onto circular cork coasters (from Cordens in Warminster!). The bases are textured with cheap filler and scatter material and soaked in a thin coat of dark earth.  I also recommend the cheap wire twist trees from Minibits which can be plugged into the coaster. The trees look a bit ‘C&N’ at first, but spray them with a variety of tree colours (!) and they come out nicely.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, Mark please do.  I wouldn’t mind having a go at this (probably fuelled by the Airfix Mirage & Mig dogfight double!) but I would lean towards 1967. Mind you, that’s because I want an excuse to make an Ouragan! Interested to hear what rules you decide on.

    I would have a look if I was in the market for platoon-level games – but I wasn’t! FUBAR was just so simple to modify into what I wanted.

    Good luck with NEIS, though!

    Mark

    i had a similar problem for my Cold War plans.  I like Force on Force but it was too low level for me, likewise all other rules I looked at were tank-obsessed.  Eventually, I stumbled on FUBAR which, with some amendments for larger games and extras like artillery, plays brilliantly.  Have a look here

    for my take on FUBAR.  It might be the sort of thing you are after. We are playing a game tomorrow to test out some of the funky new models I’ve just painted, so there may be a few amendments down the line.

    regards, Jef.

    AWI.  Manageable wargaming armies, close battles in difficult terrain, different uniforms, troop types, quality etc.
