I have been looking for a set of simple rules for land based wargaming focussed on the Winter War, to complement my recent air wargaming projects. I was thinking of Five Core Company Command for this but while browsing Nordic Weasel's rules in the Wargame Vault Winter Sale, I bumped into Winter Hammer. I assumed this was a 'skirmish' style set of rules for 20-28mm figures but I was very interested to discover that it works with 6mm figures on multiple bases.

| H&R Finnish Reindeer Teams! |
This is great as I have also been looking at the excellent Heroics and Ros Finnish and Soviet 1/300th scale ranges which feature lots of options including ski troops, reindeer teams and very funky early war Soviet multi-turret tanks like the T-28. I have given the rules a quick read through and I'm enthused by the scope and content of the system, which in usual Nordic Weasel style, seems to cover just about everything you could possibly want. It's looking like a very strong prospect for 2025 at some point!
I wasn’t aware H&R made Finnish reindeer transport. Nice 👍
ReplyDeleteI bought a copy of Winter-Hammer a good while ago (during one of Wargame Vault’s regular sales) but haven’t played ‘em yet, let alone got sufficient figures.
US companies Resistant Rooster and Legions East both make/made some nice 15mm figures for the Winter War, but they are difficult to find these days… ☹️
Cheers,

Thanks. I have been searching for decent 10mm or 15mm Finnish and early war Soviets for years but with little luck. If only Peter Pig did them!
