1/200 Battle For France
Saturday, February 6, 2010 by pete284The first variant I found for the Fast Play Modern rules were these. I attended a Wargames show several years ago and a couple of gents were putting on a France 1940 game in 1/200. It was a cracking little game and i managed to blag the rules off the lads.
This was pre-computer so the rules were typed via a typewriter. I still have the rules though they are a little worn now. The main changes to the rules were they left out aircraft and AA fire and the infantry rules were completely changed. I believe they are taken from another game, but I can’t recall where from.
The last change was different move classes and armour classes for vehicles. These changes gave a good flavour to the period and moved the rules on from the original.

Hi Pete
I was one of those gents!!! Wow how many years ago is that? Shrewsbury wargames show, Xmas time I recall.
Youre correct about the source (I used to play them too) the infantry rules came from Paragons 1/200 skirmish rules. I still have those vehicles and now use Blitzkreig Commander and it’s modern variant Cold War Commander.
All the best
