The Russian free squad was also a % so for 500 points only 5 men/50 pts and so on.<br />We are experimenting with smaller forces so a game can be done in an hour but using a rolling scenario. We'll post more after our first testing games this weekend.<br />Cheers<br />DavidThe Demo Gamershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092792466709978218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816189112955215626.post-90485758494132289232017-07-28T07:02:19.436+10:002017-07-28T07:02:19.436+10:00Hi Dave - we are rediscovering the joy of smaller ...Hi Dave - we are rediscovering the joy of smaller games with the 500 point Patrol Scenarios from SEALION (played on a 4 x 4 board), and are keen to do more on this more intimate scale where each decision, dice and casualty really count.<br /><br />What do you do with the free US Air Observer? I assume if off board arty is too strong then Air Strikes would be too?<br /><br />I'd also be very interested in your thoughts regarding scenarios best suited to the smaller games, even narrative style ones<br /><br />cheers<br />PaulPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816189112955215626.post-74513110425986329272015-02-15T00:06:08.306+11:002015-02-15T00:06:08.306+11:00Not a bad setup for small games.

Our group has a similar set of rules for 500 points: No AA vehicles (that many MGs or Autocannons just shred infantry), No Artillery observers or Airstrikes, No indirect artillery larger than a light howie or medium mortar, and no vehicles with higher armour values than 7+ (Armoured carriers). We've also ousted some special rules, such as the free units, in favour of slightly more balanced lists. <br />Admittedly we haven't tested it too much with many armies, but it's a start.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04998069529141980367noreply@blogger.com
