HI folks.
I will post a PDF version when I get the rules to a first 'readable draught.'
The basic idea of the rules is they work with any background you like .
I still have not finalised the unit interction.But it is hopefiully a simple simulation of modern (WWII onwards )
combat at the unit level.
After the game mechanics are refined, maybe with more playtesting and further development a PV allocation system may appear.
Anyhow thanks fo the vote of confidence so far.
What do you think of having 'unit data cards' like used in AT43?
So each unit has a card with a symbol for each stat amd then the value next to it?
Ill have a bash at makeing something up and post it a bit later.
TTFN
Lanrak.

NO! Please no, those  ing cards are the main thing keeping me out of Rackham/ PP games. They clutter up the table and are a serious distraction, not to mention they're one more thing to lose.

'A fist full of TOWS 2' rules are free to download online. I think you'd like them. (They are pretty good - not the best but good)
I'm writing up my rules into a more readable format - but as happens can't help but tinker at the same time...

HI namegoeshere.
I look forward to reading you revised rules.
The rules you gave a link to are 1/300th modern armoured combat.They look quite funky, but I dont think they will draw any of my group away from Challenger II , or Cambri to Sieni.Or dirtside II even 
Illl toddle off and work on revising my rules set, and making it a bit more coherant, (maybe even add some diagrams.)
TTFN
Lanrak.
