Another game report from some years back in late November 2012 when I experimented with using my favorite 6mm Second World War rules for 15mm scale. The advantages of Spearhead are it plays fast and produces reasonably accurate historical results. There are some abstractions (city fighting) and modification needed for games with less than 3 formations (battalions for 6mm, companies for 15mm). The rules have a ground scale of 1" = 100 yards and a figure scale of one base = a platoon for 6mm. The ground scale definitely needs to be altered for 15mm (1" - 50 yards) and an option for 1:1 play is a good idea. I have started to write up 15mm rules. Here are some pictures of a game set in France in the spring of 1940 pitting French and German armour against each other.
