This rules set is the two-page version of my 100 page plus set of wargame rules I call COMBAT! I have used these rules at conventions. They are simple, quick and easy. No special rules are required. They are designed for HO scale/20mm figures and vehicles. Each model represents one real soldier or vehicle. My full set of rules I use for all time periods. This single sheet is used for WWII only.

Designate the target, measure the range, check the weapon chart, check the percentage chart. and roll the dice. If it hits, check the hit location chart. Vehicles and troops under cover can not be hit in the places protected by the cover.
