Close Action Squad Level Rules

Rules WWIRules WWII

Close Action is a set of free wargames rules for WWI and WWII:

This is a set of rules for playing simple squad level wargames set in WW1 or WW2. Each figure in the game represents one actual man. One inch represents 4 yards of actual distance, or roughly 50 yards to the foot. This is roughly true scale for 15mm figures, or half scale for 20-28mm figures. One turn represents a “pretty darn short” amount of time. You may play the game equally well with 15mm-28mm figures. The rules do not include any heavy weapons such as artillery or armor; they are meant for infantry-only games. You should mount your figures individually. All dice used are six-sided

Captain Special Ops World War II

Rules WWII

From the authors:

CAPTAIN SPECIAL OP’S (CSOP) Second World War game rules, that belong to the series of CAPITANGAMES CAPTAIN they are designed to play confrontations between small groups of specialized troops, such as airborne assaults, reconnaissance in enemy territory, intelligence missions, coup de main, special operations, commandos actions, patrol scouts, escorting convoys, attacks on villages, border incursions into enemy territory, armour clashes, and all those situations in which specific tasks entrusted to a few units.

In most cases small combinations of infantry, armoured and support teams, are included, in what the important thing was the training and preparation of troops, in contrast to the great battles, where large groups of troops and impact of the strategy was crucial.

CSOP is a pure tactical game, the player has to know how to combine arms, infantry, armour and artillery. Our goal is “keep it simple & historically accurate”

The first units cover the Normandy campaign, in preparation, Spanish Civil War, El Alamein and Kursk campaigns.

About the Miniature Wargaming Hobby

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.

The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.

Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

For pictures, visit the gallery.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
