Re: Battlefront Rule Set

That's quite right about the cards WR. You can buy a standard set as well as extra ones for specific theatres - eg North Africa. At the moment the sets are about $18.00 or so in the US. The rules are around $33 so not too drastic.

As for beginners, the best way is to play with just a few units, maybe even less than we are using for the game here. Add in artillery, air, and other options as you go. It took us a couple of games to get going and then it gels pretty well. There are more advanced options if you want to use them but for anyone who has played board or table games these work very well.

If you have 20mm you have a huge option base for figures and models. 15mm is getting better all the time too. For the price and the fact that you can use what you already have it is good value.

If you look at the manual don't be put off by it. There are mostly examples to clarify rules in there but otherwise it isn't used a lot after the first few games.
