Rapid Fire Ww2 Wargame Rules
Well it's been a while since I posted. A busy period for family and work - however I was asked a question about the rules I use, and it's a fairly frequent question so I thought I would knock out a quick post on the subject. I got hooked on Modern gaming after joining the Guild forum in around 2008. I was familiar with RF through WW2 gaming and when the held a big game in 2010 I soon volunteered. The first game was held in Ireland and used Rapid Fire adaptations produced by Piers Brand. In the subsequent two Cold War big games they were adapted in a number of areas by John Dowman and Rob Rowell.

Rapid Fire Ww2
I suppose a number of things that I like best about Cold War gaming are enabled by these rules:. 20mm is a great scale for armour modeling with vehicles and figures sufficiently large to look great when done. The models and figures can easily be adapted and enhanced. The extensive ranges of plastic models and resin kits mean most of the armies can be pulled together, and they look great. The Orbat abstractions enable a reasonable game to be played out at battle group level on a 6 foot by 4 foot table without it all looking too daft.
The rules are simple and straight forward to learn and enable games to be completed relatively quickly. With a bit of thought and a lot of really useful plastic boxes you can store it all in a reasonably big cupboard. You can with the aid of a small hall some friends and a pile of scenery pull it all up to the operational level which is really where the action was going to happen in the Cold War and where the odds evened up between the Warsaw Pact and NATO armies.
