Spanish Civil War & World War II - 1936-1945

World War II is one of the largest and most popular periods for wargaming - along with Napoleonics and the American Civil War it is one of the periods that up until recently was most likely the first period a wargamer ever gamed in!

Here we've got both historical articles and wargaming links, along with comments on terrain and technology. There are several useful websites that review and compare figures and we'll endeavour to point you in the right direction for those too...

Our current preferred rules for World War II games are Crossfire (for Company & Battalion sized games in 20mm) and Spearhead (for Divisional sized games in 6mm). At our local club however Flames of War has also developed a following for Company sized 15mm games, and a few people still play WRG 1925-50 rules for Company sized 6mm games. However there are many other rule sets available and we provide a listing of many of them.

There is also the Society Of Twentieth Century Wargamers which produces a good quality A4 sized Journal regularly and covers wargaming from the Balkan Wars and World War I right through World War II to Modern Times. Well worth consideration if you want to subscribe to a reasonably good value for money publication (unlike a lot of the 'Glossy' commercial Wargaming Magazines).

As noted above have our own 'fan' pages here for Crossfire and Spearhead. In addition we have several useful articles in the WW2 Historical section.
