Campaigning and fast play WWII tactical rules

Spotlight Article Graphic

"The rules provided by Matt are designed to allow the fast play needed to cover so much potential action, so that friends can complete their campaign in a day." Norm Smith, in Battlefields & Warriors, checks out a fast play campaign system offered by Matt Irsik in Warning Order, which is a free, online wargames journal. Check out the action in Norm's test run through, and why he concludes that "…Matt has provided us with an engine that gets things moving and helps ensure that a campaign can be fought through relatively quickly to a conclusion."

Norman Conquests: Conflicts of the Normans and Their Successors 1053-1265 by GMT Games

"The games that I have played have been mostly fast and frenzied. You get to release thundering knights on their charges and also to counter-charge them at times." Robert Peterson, in A Wargamers Needful Things, checks out this Men of Iron series game. See what he's getting at with the comment "Whether this was done completely by thinking and playing or if it had a bit of necromancy thrown in, I am not certain."
