Fast Micro Armor Rules

WWII miniatures rules

Reviewed by Rod Burr

The FAST MICRO-ARMOR rules are a very simple setof rules for WWII battles. The complete rules occupy only nine 51/2 " x 8" pages. The rest of the 22 page booklet consists of vehicle data, charts for play of the game and an appendix listing vehicle availability by nationality and date. The rules are rather sketchily written and some of the data included is of dubious accuracy. For example, the British 25lb. gun/howitzer on the Bishop has the same armour penetration capability and accuracy as the German 88mm flak gun; and the German Pz V, PzVIb, Jagdpz IV, and PzIVh are listed as having stabilized guns, which to my knowledge was only done on a few experimental prototypes (e.g. the Panther 11 with 88mm gun). The rules will be available from GDW.
