| SCHWERPUNKT Rules for warfare in the Age of the Rifle Schwerpunkt is a set of rules I designed myself before I bought CLA. Basically I asked myself what I wanted in a wargame and came up with the following criteria: 1) It had to be fast Playing 2) It should be capable of producing historical results 3) It had to be fun With this in mind, I set about using all the rulesets I have ever played or read to come up with what I liked and didn't like. Since buying CLA I no longer use these rules, but there are many similarities and they are here for anyone who would like a free set of wargames rules without too many holes in them. |

| The Contemptible Little Armies Rules by Chris Peers would have to be some of my favourite. I am a real fan of Chris' attitude to wargaming - that it is a game (and therefore supposed to be enjoyable) and that, in modern warfare at least, tables of organisation and equipment can be cumbersome, boring and inaccurate. I use these rules for the Great War, which is a period of intense historical interest for me. Armies that I currently have are: Great War German 1916 - 1918 New Zealanders 1916 - 1918 French 1916 - 1918 United States 1917 - 1918 Austro-Hungarians 1915 - 18 Turks 1915-18 Russians 1914-1917 |
