Roger, Go to http://www.freewargamesrules.co.uk/ and then to their World War II section. Scroll down and you'll see "Dirtside II for WWII". This is an article I wrote in Ragnarok a few years ago on converting DSII for WWII. Hope that helps Mike Anyone have suggestions for WWII armour (1/300) rules? We like the alternating move style of DS, but nobody in my gaming group is experienced or knowledgable enough to convert historical WWII units to DS units. Suggestions for Modern would be cool also.

It shares a lot in common with FMA, IMO. It also has a lot of things going for it like three different gaming scales (unit == squad, platoon and battalion) in the same game. I enjoy it a lot. http://www.piquet.com/ I do believe, however, that there are at least two different straight-up conversions of DS2 to WWII. One by Mike Elliot, and the other not (sorry, I forgot the name). For an early version of Mike's rules, see

It appears my message came through blank... I'm not sure why. Anyway, I was going to suggest Mike Elliott's conversion at: http://www.felixent.f9.co.uk/games/art96.html It may be the same as what Andy suggested. Also there's a big list of WW2 rules at: http://freespace.virgin.net/pete.jones/Rules/World_War_2/world_war _2.htm - Jakim > On 5 Dec 2001, at 12:55, Andy Cowell wrote: > In message <20011205182757.48444.qmail@web10806.mail.yahoo.com>, Jakim

(make sure you get the current 2nd version) Though I'm now playing their WWI supplement Barrage more. (and need to paint more Russians for some RCW battles this winter) Battleground WWII is also very good though it might bog down at 1/300 scale, it works best with several squads and a few tanks per side, though there are 1/300 rules. Unfortunately it seems to be PDF only now on cds, some of the original binder rulebooks are probably still in stores. (www.battlegroundwwii.com?) For moderns, try A Fistful of Tows at http://www.tyler.net/tbeard/home.htm he also has a draft of WWII rules as well Victorian Fantasy (as in Orcs and such) and War of the Worlds rules. All free downloads. Piquet also has a Vietnam era supplement which could be used for Moderns and are developing a Modern set. Both Piquet and FFoT have good egroups on Yahoo! Groups.

Can I suggest Spear Head? If u want Modern rules then there is always Modern Spear Head, Divisional level wargames rules, real nice quick play, multiple division games are playable in a day.
