The Farquhar Version Released! The 'new' set of WRG-ish WW2 rules just dropped.

John D Salt let me know today that his creation of the 'missing link' in the WRG WW2 company to battalion-level rules has been published on Lulu today. Regular readers of this blog will recall that I had the good fortune to assist with some of the playtesting of this set during 2022 and 2023. I got lots of questions/comments on various forums and on the blog asking when this might be published, so great to see it finally in print! I do recommend it, it seems to me both a faithful representation of the WRG-thinking of the time after 4-5 years of experience with their first WW2 and Modern sets, as well as introducing some minor but useful clean ups to the equipment and the artillery and anti-aircraft mechanics. It is a little more complicated than the original first edition 1925-1950 ruleset, but less complicated than the late 80s 2nd edition. I will do a full review and some more games as soon as my copy arrives!

  2. Thanks for the heads up John. I have contributed to John D's wealth fund and bought a copy. I hope he remembers me when he is rich beyond the dreams of avarice. Looking forward to a read through and giving them a go.
