fincom001 Final Combat
Final Combat is a set of 20th Century skirmish wargaming rules designed to facilitate squad to platoon level infantry engagements of WWII. Final Combat attempts to capture as much realism as possible by incorporating rate of fire and reliability tables that accurately simulate weapon characteristics. The scope of this work is intentionally limited to infantry although Armor is introduced later as an option. These rules are not just limited to 20th Century combat. The hand-to-hand combat section deals with the brutality that characterizes melee. There, one might discover that power, speed and endurance present an interesting challenge for the character with skill and finesse. You will find these rules both simplistic and functionally authentic.

By H. G. Wells, 1913. Its full title is Little Wars: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books. Considered by some to be the first modern table top war game, it included fairly complex rules for infantry, cavalry and artillery. In addition to it being a war game, the book hints at several philosophical aspects of war. The development of the game is explained and Wells' thoughts on war, as he was known to be a pacifist, is revealed in his writing.
