Combined Arms

Revisión de las Reglas de Juego de Guerra

Combined Arms rules are designed for World-War II company and battalion level infantry and armour actions using 1:300 scale miniatures. Larger 1:76 scale miniatures may be used, but only if the number of vehicles is kept small. For these rules to work correctly, it is essential that forces are organized into proper national formations. While the rules provide a basic outline of unit organisations used in World War Two, wargamers will have to refer to other sources for detailed Tables of Organisation and Equipment (TO&E), like the Infantería Británica Battalion 1943 TO&E published in Military Miniatures Magazine.

Combined Arms rules are complex, because they cover a period of rapid technological development in a four year time span. Weapons and tactics used at the beginning of the war quickly became obsolete and were phased out or forced out as the conflict developed. Combined Arms contains a lot of doctrine which will restrict certain things the player can do, particularly with regards to artillery. When artillery fire is called, some armies will experience longer delays than others, based on historical precendent.

The picture show Heroics & Ros 1:300 scale British paratroops and vehicles based for Combined Arms. The 4-man para squad is mounted on a 20 x 10 mm stand, the Bren LMG and P.I.A.T. teams are on 10 x 10 mm heavy weapons stands. A British 10-man infantry section may be recreated using two 4-man infantry squads and a Bren LMG team. The heavy mortar team has been mounted on a round base for ease of identifaction. Vehicles are easier to handle if they are based as well.
