I like the B...Hi John, thank you for your comment.<br /><br />I like the Battlegroup rules, but as you will see from my comments, after several games, I find some aspects of them a little bit hard to get my head round, and as I said in my post, that's probably just me.<br /><br />If you like to read and collect rules then the production quality of these are worth having for that alone. I would be very happy to play a game of Battlegroup, but I would use IABSM as my preferred company level rule set, and I am planning to play Chain of Command when I get an opportunity. I guess I really buy into Richard and Nick's ethos of playing the period and not the rules, and I look for that in the rules I prefer to play. I find Carnage & Glory does the same for Napoleonics. I think rule sets are like different size shoes, I like to wear size 8's but if you need size 12's you probably won't be interested in my size. One doesn't invalidate the other, they're just different and suit different people. The best thing is that the more rule sets there are the more figures seem to get produced to be played with them, which is great.<br /><br />Thanks again<br /><br />Jonathancarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-83458200383302202762013-11-09T10:56:12.966-08:002013-11-09T10:56:12.966-08:00Hey guys, thank you.

I find that works but stone walls etc are more tricky. My WWII is 20 mm, just liked the scale, so it was good I had the buildings but walls need to be 20 mm.<br /><br />I also found your discussion of the BattleGroup ruleset interesting, I am not interested in the rules as I like CoC, but is the book worth getting?<br /><br />Again kudos on a great blog.<br /><br />Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-53955552373708697962013-11-09T04:15:27.204-08:002013-11-09T04:15:27.204-08:00Lovely work, Jonathon!Lovely work, Jonathon!Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.com
