I was in the mood recently for a good, 90's-style WW2 ruleset. You know the kind: lots and lots of charts, rules for every occasion (smoke grenades, fighting on skis, box barrages), tons of nity-gritty treadhead details (hit location tables, different ammunitions), supplement rulebooks up the wazoo, assymetical game mechanics (no 'universal' die mechanic), no points systems (not on principle, just because no one had thought of that yet) and so on. Then I remembered that I had played such a game a few years back at a gaming convention: Battleground WW2. I remember this was an interesting game because it treated every soldier individually: a rarity in any skirmish game (I can only think of two others, Nuts! And Final Combat, that do this).

So I looked online and was pleased to find several places that still carry the rules and promptly ordered a copy. Now, while I camp out by my mailbox in anticipation, what can you tell me about this game? I vaguely remember d20's were used (roll low?) but not much else. How does the game work, and what makes it great? Komparator na tranzistorah. Namoz vaqtlari toshkent 2018 yanvar.

That and the Tiger tank, of course. Two squads per side sounds good—I was actually planning on using it for 'one squad plus' (i.e. A ten man squad and a weapons team or a vehicle per side). Would it work ok at that level, or is that too small to really get a sense of the command & control and army maneuver aspects of the rules? Also, do squadmates have to stick together (or close to the sergeant)? Or can they go off and do their own thing (and is that penalized)?

Aspects of the game are finicky, but I remember me and my junior-high and high-school aged friends playing it in the 90s/early 2000s without trouble, getting in several games a month and having a blast. It was my entry into WWII gaming and I have been trying to get around to playing another game of it soon. Were I to go back to it, I think I'd trim down a few parts, add a few others, and ignore some rules, but man I had some fun times with that game.
