I had a look through your posts yesterday, and quite liked what you've come up with. I'm probably still a wee way away from actually gaming, but Sun, 31 Mar 2013 06:01:23 GMT Shaun Travers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/883 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/883 ... Out of all the WW2 rules I have, these struck me as having simple easy to use, consistent mechanisms. So the solo friendly in this instance is more that Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:46:40 GMT Dale Hurtt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/882 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/882 ... Why yes, they are: http://www.worthingtongames.com/images/bob/BOBrulesUPDATE090812_WEB.pdf And some bonus scenarios: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:44:00 GMT Dale Hurtt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/881 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/881 ... I have had the PBI rules for several years now, but never played them, simply because my troops are based for Flames of War. PBI really wants you to use Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:27:57 GMT Dale Hurtt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/880 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/880 ... What is most import is the scale of game you want to play. My limitation is that I have a collection of troops based for Flames of War, and I do not want Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:38:07 GMT prufrockj1974 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/879 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/879 Hi Shaun, Thanks for the tips. Another chap also recommended PBI, so I might have to investigate it further. Will take a look at your other suggetions, too.

I'm not quite ready to start playing yet Fri, 29 Mar 2013 21:45:31 GMT Shaun Travers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/877 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/877 Aaron, A few suggestions that I have been thinking about doing over the years (6mm on a grid or hex): Peter Pigs PBI is a grid based game - company level.

I ask because I have been working on some square grid rules that use battle dice Fri, 29 Mar 2013 06:10:16 GMT prufrockj1974 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/875 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/875 Actually, games that use square grids would be fine too - there's no real reason that they must be hex-based, if I think about it.

Card activation is OK, Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:43:12 GMT cordery_bob http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/873 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/873 Dick Bryant ? the former editor and publisher of THE COURIER ? has sent me scans of the Napoleonic rules used by Charlie and David Sweet. They are based Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:36:31 GMT elmo_mellonhead http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/872 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/872 ... Actually, that sounds a lot like Peter Pig's WWII square-based rules (PBI II). You can make 1 diagonal move but the rest must be orthogonal. Same with Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:51:58 GMT Dale Hurtt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/871 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/871 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/rivet-wars Rivet Wars is a board game adaptation of an RTS. Basically it is miniatures on a square-grid set Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:58:31 GMT Dale Hurtt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/870 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/grid_based_wargames/message/870 Can you elaborate a little? I agree that measurements are not equal on the diagonal (as compared to the orthogonal), but I am not sure how it causes problems.
