by

A Torrent of Steel is a set of free wargames rules for armored battles 1950 – 1990.

Designed for 1/300th battles in the period 1950 to1990, AT oS provides a brigade or divisional level game. Our group has fought actions involving 2-300 model vehicles a side and finished it in an evening.

The rules work on the well-proven “fistful of dice” principle, and enable large formations to blaze away at each other without recourse to repeated die rolls. Infantry, artillery and air support are catered for

These rules cover armoured conflicts around the world – the Six Day and Yom Kippur Wars, the Indo-Pakistani Wars the First Gulf War, not to mention unrealised conflicts like a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Voice Of The Guns

by

Voice of the Guns is a set of free wargames rules for European land warfare from the 1850s to the Great War.

The author writes:

Voice of the Guns is a wargames system for European Land Warfare for the period from 1850, when the muzzle-loading rifle became widely adopted, to 1916, when the tank made its appearance on the European battlefield. In that time the cavalry lost its pre-eminence on the battlefield, the artillery developed the art of indirect fire thanks to the introduction of the recoil mechanism, and the machine-gun evolved into a weapon to fear.

The period runs from the Crimean War, up through the wars of Italian Unification, the Austro-Prussian and Franco Prussian Wars, the Russo-Turkish War and on to the early days of the First World War. The system may also be successfully used to refight the American Civil War and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 The system is intended for large-scale actions up to corps and army level. The basic manoeuvre units are the infantry battalion, the cavalry squadron and the artillery
battery. With the possible exception of independent machine-gun companies, further subdivision of forces is not considered.
The system may be used for any scale of figures from 5-6 mm through 10-12 mm and 15 mm up to 25-28 mm and is not dependent upon specific numbers of figures per unit.
