Hell in Microcosm

What is Hell in Microcosm

Welcome to Hell in Microcosm.

This set of rules has the battalion as the manoeuvre unit. Stiffened and supported by the specialist troops from within the division, the battalions are the cutting edge of your force. Aimed at 6mm and 2mm figures, once you get used to the rules you can contemplate deploying divisions.

When we originally used these rules, we fought battles ranging in time from the first months of the First World War to Vietnam. You can try and smash your enemy’s trench lines with artillery before launching yet another attack, or you can drop your blocking force into place with helicopters (playing the Ride of the Valkyries is purely optional).

You can have beach landings, armoured trains, and cavalry. You can bomb towns to stop the enemy advancing through them, or infiltrate your irregulars through weakly held parts of the front.
