I too have tried and own Challenger (and Challenger 2000) and the WW2 equivalent Firefly. On the top of my head, I also have Korps Commander, OMG, By Air and by Sea (all by Tabletop Games) Combined Arms, Spearhead and Rapid Fire.<br /><br />For single figures I have Face of Battle, but I often use Snapshot by Traveller with a rough set of Skill, and Weapon Tables. I also have used them for westerns as well. I'll keep your offer in mind for next year at Cangames. My buddies (Paul & Joseph) and I are looking at putting on some sort of game, and this might be the ticket to go with.<br /><br />Robrhingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084435959839601918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-67052585962236200172013-08-15T10:22:12.001-04:002013-08-15T10:22:12.001-04:00Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.rhingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084435959839601918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-22636695688735736982013-08-15T10:20:18.018-04:002013-08-15T10:20:18.018-04:00Great looking troops and in 28mm too.

However it has been WRG for ancients all the way.<br /><br />If you ever want to try your single bases out with Chain of Command, I have the rules on order and a platoon of early Fallschirmjäger waiting to be painted. ;) PatGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379668269395518541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-81025022006490362172013-08-15T10:19:58.927-04:002013-08-15T10:19:58.927-04:00Hi John, I used 40mm square bases for these figure...Hi John, I used 40mm square bases for these figures. Looking at them I felt that 50mm x 50mm stands were just too large. In previous postings (The Anatomy of a Small War) I have examples of 20mm WW2 Japanese Infantry on 40mm x 20mm stands for use in Blitzkrieg Commander. <br /><br />I use elements of the Armour & Infantry 1950-1985 rules. For example I like both the random chance for spotting and the move/fire options that are available.<br /><br />The other thing I've done is based my microarmour infantry as squads, capable of multiple actions, and using hit markers to reduce their effectiveness.<br /><br />And yes, I do make templates for area fire.<br /><br />Robrhingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084435959839601918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-76345007768808405332013-08-15T09:44:14.949-04:002013-08-15T09:44:14.949-04:00Good work Robert.Good work Robert.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-34427780989399981412013-08-15T08:14:17.579-04:002013-08-15T08:14:17.579-04:00Hi Robert,

I have my 20mm guys on 32mm x 19mm bases and they seem crowded, but your big guys don't.<br />I always liked the WRG WWII rules, too, except for the slow foot movement rate. Do you use any house rules? Did you make templates for area fire, or do you handle it differently?<br />Thanks and regards,<br />John<br />The Ferrymenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741552972862333515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631548523063008708.post-11102530302912011472013-08-15T01:57:58.567-04:002013-08-15T01:57:58.567-04:00They are a determined bunch, if ever they were.
