A simple yet polished set of rules for World War 2 skirmishing

Having skimmed the PDF (Which is only a handful of pages), I can comfortably say that this is a very robust and clean system. Honestly, I didn't expect much when I stumbled upon this product, but I was pleasantly surprised by the clean layout and artwork. Really evokes that minimalist feeling without being too barebones in presentation.

The rules themselves are straightforward and direct. Nothing is too abstract that it becomes hard to imagine a scene. At cursory glance, the system reminded me of Valor & Victory (Or Squad Leader for that matter), which is a good thing as I adore tabletop wargames.

Movement is also very tidy and versatile, not requiring the use of a board/battlemat to play out a firefight. A good example is the way flanking is considered and played out, just using a couple of dice rolls (Just a 1D10 actually) and a bit of verbal narration.

Overall, I'm very pleasantly surprised by this free product (Well, It's PYWY. But I got it without donating, though I'm considering it now). Keep up the good work! This might just be the WW2 RPG system I've been looking for, since it has a mix of wargames and roleplaying games, my two favorite things.

PS: I hope there'll be more vehicles soon, right now we only have two to play with, though I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to create my own. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the (As of writing) unreleased scenarios.
