WW2 has become a big of
thing for me lately. I've always been interested in it the topic but recently I just can't get enough of it, movies, books and now wargaming. I've kept right away from Flames of War as the cost is just too much for a game that I'll play every now and then.
I've got
Nuts! for skirmish level games and I have
Fields of Honor and
Blitzkrieg Commander for higher level stuff. so why do I need
another set of rules? Well the answer is simply
support.
World at War (WaW) has been released with an
Open Content License in a similar vein to the
Open Gaming License Wizards of the Coast has with Dungeons and Dragons products. The amount of free and cheap content out for this game is impressive.
I won't try to compare
Nuts! to
WaW as they are so different on so many levels that I can't see one ever replacing the other. I have
Nuts! for scenario based "play it like it was" games and now I have
WaW for the "1000pts each" competitive games. And should I fall on my head and want to start playing modern era skirmishes then it's good to know that the core rules are similar across all of the games in the Battlefield Evolution series.
I'll get a battle report and rules review up once I get my British painted.

This is another game I've been thinking of getting but I'm finding it really hard to find a good supplier of miniatures. I know the game comes with tokens for all of the ships in the game but I want to push little boats around the table not pieces of card.
