Rapid Fire Rules

These are my goto set of WWII rules for my 10mm World War II Project

Rapid Fire Reloaded is the latest version of the Rapid Fire basic rules for W.W.2 wargaming with miniatures. The original fast play rules are now even faster, with new, easy to remember mechanisms and streamlined systems. Play using the standard Rapid Fire 1:15 figure and 1:5 vehicle ratios for brigade-level engagements, or use for 1:1 skirmishes or even 1:45/1:15 divisional level battles.

Handy A5 size booklet you can hold in one hand during games
Fully compatible with the advanced rules section of ‘Rapid Fire!’
Easy to pick up for experienced Rapid Fire players and ideal for newcomers to RF.
Free online ‘Reloaded’ vehicle and gun charts for many nations.
Includes two ‘battlegrouped’, points-balanced forces and a Normandy scenario that you can play to ‘action learn’ the rules
16 pages packed with rules, rules, rules!
Available for the pocket money price of £5!

Rapid Fire Reloaded Extra provides additional rules for some of the more specialist or unusual activities that armies carried out on the World War Two battlefield. Once you have mastered the basic rules in Rapid Fire Reloaded you can add Reloaded Extra to expand your games and try different ways of overcoming or trying to stop the enemy! The 16 page A5 booklet includes paratroops and gliders, ground attacks by aircraft, amphibious landings, minefields and engineering and much more.

These rules are available directly at Rapid Fire and also available through my shop East Front Miniatures, Rapid Fire Rules and Supplements.
