Trying out One Hour Wargames WW2 rules
I set up a trial game using what I had available. I used the rules as in the book except for changing all inches into centimetres including base size suggestions. Perhaps next time I will stick to inches?
I use metric for all my bases and model making, its more accurate. But when it comes to playing wargames, and anything requiring approximates Imperial is a lot more user friendly. Nice to see a very traditional Airfix layout. Michael
It was ok , not too exciting. The cm decision made ranges too short for my taste compared to the size of the table. I didn’t like the look of it at all. It does deserve another go on a bigger table and with a grid this time. There is a chap doing the rules with his own tweaks in 10mm and I like what I have seen. More detail but not too much at all. Some neat ideas re recording casualties too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR211wOtzsiZmxYWO94cy16Ql9zPstRmsI5IxVH5_-v5FS20RQ_12hfJRG8&v=Txs_C-_g5MU&feature=youtu.be
Hurrah! Version 1 Airfix Germans!
ReplyDeleteSomehow inches still feel right, from Little Wars onwards ...
DeleteI know what you mean, cm didn’t really work.
DeleteYes I don't like metric in wargaming either .
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Your Rule(r)s Your Move.
DeleteI should have halved the inches not gone metric. Will remember next time.
DeleteWot! First generation Germans but no Infantry Combat Group!

There are some buried in the shed somewhere!
