I don’t know if it is perhaps dangerous to say this after only one battle! But on Saturday Night my group used the new WW2 rules BLITZKRIEG COMMANDER and I would have to say that these are the BEST WW2 land rules I have ever used. Fast and easy to play with innovative systems. Brilliantly laid out and with just about everything you need, rather than lots of supplements.
These are the only rules I have every used on a tabletop, where I actually got the feeling of ‘Blitzkrieg’. Les was attacking a Polish Cavalry regiment that had occupied a farm during the 1939 Poland, PBEM campaign I have been running for the Wargames Mongrel group on the WWW. Everyone caught on to the system by move two or three and from then on everyone called out the system and scores to get results. I felt that by the end of the game everyone knew the rules and could have refereed a game. It was bloody brilliant!!!
Hi
Can you please tell me who sell these rules in the UK?
All the best
Darren

Hi Darren, if you go to http://www.blitzkrieg-commander.com/ you'll find the rules listed there at Specialist Military Publishing. They are the UK publishers of the rules.

Doing well Bob – typing this from Jakarta – Breakfast in Singapore, dinner in Jakarta, several kilos of figures sitting unpainted in the condo … but some rules to read whilst I am away.
I must plead guilty to never having looked at Mein Panzer … are they any good? 🙂
As you may have noticed from recent posts, 19th century Europe is starting to interest me … trying to decide whether or not to do it as historical or imagi-nation. Of course, 19th century Europe could so easily lead me back to Victorian Science Fiction again … sigh, so many periods, so many projects, not nearly enough time!
