Thank you. I have recently bought the three booklets and agree that they are very nice. Reloaded extra acts as a sort of bridge between reloaded basic and what 2nd edition offers. Also fully appreciate your sentiment of not allowing social media to get in the way of the actual hobby of getting some wargaming stuff done.
Great video mate, like you I started with first edition, then second and now reloaded. I’m enjoying O Group at the moment, but my first love for WW2 rules has to be Rapid Fire. I’ve played it over the years in 15, 20 and 28mm, with my biggest collection being 20mm. 👍
Always happy to discover new rule sets. Thats so nice about historicals, how new game systems can breath new live into an standing collection of miniatures.
@@stigofthedump181 I don’t actually play. I’ve always just liked military history and models, Roman, Napoleonic, American Civil War, WW I&II anything really and Commando Comics. 👍
My favourite set of ww2 rules. It is our preferred set of Rules for our Early War, Russian and Western Front 44-45. Planning on a big RF weekend in September for Arnhem. Cheers Matt French Wargame Holidays “Walk the battlefield in the morning, Wargame in the afternoon”
So is reloaded the 'current' edition or is it sort of a stripped down version and the other one you showed is still the "real" one? Been looking for something that's easy to understand but has larger scale games (I'm currently playing Bolt Action which is fine but I want something larger) where like a stand is a platoon or even a company, something like that.
Reloaded is like a fast play, stripped doen version. Rapid fire is very much a fast playing game as well to be fair. Both are abstracted, so a company representing roughly 100 men would be 8 figures.
Been playing Rapid Fire since the late 90's, still use the origional rule book and quick reference sheet, the mechanics are flexible enough to allow just about anything. The focus seems to have shifted over the years to the late war (43-45), but all the green book scenario's are for games set between 40-42, which was a draw for me. If you have never played these rules do yourself a favour... only £5.

Great video mate. Play Rapid Fire all the time easily my favourite set of WW2 rules and the new version has really speeded up the game.
Really enjoyed the latest video chat on the evolution of Rapid Fire. Thanks 👍
Have you picked it up Martin?

Yeah, you can't go wrong with Rapid fire, great game.
What are your roads/tracks made out of? Thanks for the review!
I made them out of roofing felt.
A good, interesting vid. Big fan of Rapid Fire rules 👍
Do the Canadian scenarios indicate Scotty?
Heard of this thanks for the look. May have to check this out. 👍
Nice vid. Be good to some vids of your games now your shed is ‘operational’?
A nice little chat about the game. I an see why it appealed.
Yeah, the older I get, the simpler my games need to be!
No vids for a while - hoping all is good Stig!
Everything is fine, just having a break. Looking at new video software etc.
I wish they'd reprint those first two supplements
Yeah, still really useful. Maybe they will update them, I hope so.
The red one is £60 on evil bay
@@davidtuck8584 thanks! 60 might be too much but I'll have to check it out
@@davidtuck8584 £60 + £30 postage, ugh - still tempted, will have to think, thanks again
Nice one mate
Now then!
