I know this is the Historicals thread, but I think most of you would be better situated to answer my question. I'm looking at doing 6mm fantasy stuff with some of my friends (mostly first crusades era, but with witches, inquisitors, and dragons and poo poo.) What would be a good system that's easily customizable to account for weird monsters or unit abilities, and is preferably point-based in some manner?

Two Questions: 1) Is there a 28mm WW2 skirmish/campaign ruleset? (ala Mordheim/Necromunda) I think I remember one being mentioned somewhere. 2) 6mm Thirty Years War rules/miniatures?

I've found a couple that seem like they might be interesting, but trying to tread the line between playability and accuracy is difficult. I want to care about the weather gage, but I sure as hell don't want to worry about the tension on the forestay.

I find Oathing is super useful as a motivator to actually _finish_ things. Your mileage may vary, but I say go for it! There's nothing to lose.

am I correct that Chain of Command is really going to work best in 28mm, not 15mm? Looking at breaking into the scene, and trying to find a good balance between aesthetic, playability, and intersection between my existing Infinity/Malifaux terrain. I really like the small scales (have a lot of 6mm stuff) but individual casualty removal has me concerned with 15mm.

lilljonas posted:Nah, CoC works in 15mm too, and in some ways I think the distances are easier to get realistic in 15mm. I've seen several people do CoC with 15mm with teams based together, and using small dice (sometimes integrated on the bases) to mark casualties. But there are also those who play CoC in 15mm with individual bases as well. Thanks, that's kinda reassuring. I'm hoping someone can weigh in on their experiences with both methods of basing; I don't want to be too fiddly. I have a ton of 25mm plastic bases, so it'd be great to just put 15mm on those, but I don't know if that would play strangely trying to get into buildings and cover and the like. Poking into a new field is always difficult :p

Thanks for the responses guys. For your basing washers, do people tend towards ~3/4"/20mm there as well?

In chain of Command, can you take a halftrack and put an AT gun with crew into it, to make one of the armed variants?

Ilor posted:You can usually just buy the armed variant itself. The Consolidated Arsenal has listing for most of these (e.g. the SdKfz 251/10 with 3.7cm Pak-36, which clocks in at Support List 4). If it doesn't have the variant you want, you can just run the vehicle + gun stats through the CoCulator to get the correct Support List cost. Great, thanks! Now to figure out what panzergrenadier force I want to build to fight Americans in Normandy. :p

With PSCs' US Tank Company Amy box, can anyone tell me how many infantry sprues are included? I want to make sure that I can build a Chain of Command force from it, but I'm not certain how well it shakes out.

We're going to play other games eventually too, because I'm weak, but my question is mostly on that "29 riflemen" thing. Looks like they're using the same sprues, and those include BAR gunners and SMGs, and I don't know of those guys are included in the count or not

Yeah, I remember reading that the British mixture faded a brighter green than the U.S.one. I'd say use brown violet for the helmets, and green for the uniforms on the airborne. What are people's opinions on Battlegroup Overlord?

NTRabbit posted:Practically welded was better, because damaged plates could be replaced in the field, whereas a damaged cast upper hull was a write off and had to be replaced in its entirety.

I don't suppose anyone would be willing to make a re edit of the Chain of Command rules, would they? I've been struggling through it but keep finding second that don't quite seem to make sense.

I think it's part of the really tight focus on "an infantry platoon" that CoC holds. Having a Sherman assigned to the platoon is pretty rad anyway, no one's going to give a squad an entire squad of tanks. I do agree though, I sometimes wish it were slightly larger scale without being a full Company-sized game. I think the Big Chain of Command supplement could help with that issue, although ideally it wants to be a 2v2 scenario.

I've used these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:769137 And you could probably print the turrets without barrels, and just use plastic rod and a drill for barrels.

Is there anything that makes the 2-inch mortar worth a drat? Especially for those Nations which do not have access to smoke. Has there been any thoughts towards a fan edited 1 and a 1/2 Edition? Something to clarify and fix all of the problems

As someone who's done something similar though, you might regret doing so when your models keep falling off their bases, and the dozens of hours you spent installing magnets get minimal use as you stick with the same game system. Just a cautionary anecdote.
