About The Hex Command Rules for War Games

 

"It's all factored in and I gotta tell ya my kids really loved it.." 
   - dad at a convention  

Once you learn the combat you'll probably never look at the charts again. We're absolutely sure you'll see the many benefits even if you don't use a grid. These rules were designed to help bring new players into the hobby by offering rules that are:

• easy to understand

• remember

• teach others  

Any Basing System  
Doesn't matter how many figures you want per unit.  A primary goal was to enable anyone's collection of miniatures to be used without rebasing.  Each stand of miniatures represents a squad (HCM), or cohort, warband, battalion, regiment, cavalry company or artillery battery (HCAncients and Gunpowder).  If your bases can fit into a hex, there's a unit.  

Hexagon Grid  
The game was designed with a hexagon grid but you don't need to use it.  We designed it with both 2.5 inch hexes for games in 15mm and 1/144 ships and aircraft to 1/72 Ancients and horse and musket eras, with 4 inch hexes for 1/72 WWII and 54mm. 

In the articles section of this website, we will present various topics including Modeling and Terrain, articles about Rules, and information that will help the Gamer both with clubs, at home and at conventions, Creating Scenarios and starting games, After Action Reports about battles that have occurred, and Technology that is involved and evolving in today's miniature gaming hobby.
