General Glen's Combat Rules for Toy Soldiers

 Been looking for rules suitable for 1/35 wargames. These look useful. Description below is from here

General Glen's Combat Rules for Toy Soldiers is the set of rules you need to get your dusty old toy soldiers out of storage. Whether you play in 54mm scale with exquisitely detailed soldiers, or with small 20-28mm plastic soldiers, you'll find these rules bring the focus of WWII skirmishes back to what it should be: detailed yet fast paced, balanced yet fun.

The scope of these rules pretty much allows a maximum of a platoon per side for a 4-6 hour game, with maybe a dozen per side for a 3-4 hour game. For us, this means we can run the games in our big 54mm size, because we don't have that many minitatures to bring with us - only about 30-50 soldiers per side, if you include all the different poses - standing , kneeling, prone.

Our rules encourage the use of actual postures of your miniatures, so that line of sight and actual cover are used to determine whether a toy soldier can "see" another. The exclusive use of a d12 for all die rolling has caused us to dub our game the "d12 system", long before those other guys came out with their "d20 system".

Charlie Murray Grant is the third generation, son of Charles Stewart, and he, too, has inherited a passion for the wargame hobby. Charlie, with his own 20mm World War Two armies, has developed his late grandfather's rules, added to them, and provided a play sheet and instructions for refighting one of the original scenarios. In addition, Charlie has added six chapters which were not in the original publication, but which appeared in the Mecanno Magazine. In his own words: "Battle has stood the test of time and, with new content and play sheets, it provides an excellent set of rules for up to company-level actions."

 we had these rules in the late 70s but we never got around to using them. As my favourite rules are free ones I might use these.
