7M ago
  OK here we go again, it's Semi Finals time and the first one sets the 2 remaining WW2 Rules in the competition against each other, it's O Group vs Chain of Command.  O Group is relatively new to the scene but has generated a dedicated set of players who enjoy the set immensely. It's been a long journey to the Semis making its way through a tough 1st Round against Crossfire, then defeating the old school Behemoth WRG Ancients in Rd 2. A classic scrap in the QFs was won against For King and Parliament. Chain of Command has proved hugely popular since its introduction and is the go t ..read more

  Hi Everyone, I'm currently running a World Cup of Historical Wargames Rules and although I don't blog anywhere as much as I used to I thought it would be a good idea to have a central location for all the information. Inspired by the Podcast "The Rest is History" who have done this in the past I thought I would do the same first for Wargames Rules and may at the end of the year for figure manufacturers. So here is how it's going to work, There will be an open public vote to nominate the top 16 sets of Wargames Rules who will compete in Round 1. To be eligible a rule set must be for Mi ..read more
