Test of Battle and Blitzkrieg Commander are two of  my favourites and while they are I go U go there are enough in them to make them feel like there not. Hidden movement, spotting and rolling to activate etc

I second the recommendation of Battlegroup.  There is a slight feel of you-go-I-go … but that’s really up to the players (put more of your units in Reserve Movement or Ambush Fire mode and you can avoid this).

Contrary to popular belief, its not really “written” for 20mm … that just happens to the be scale most of the “big” Battlegroup players use.  I play it in 15mm and I’d say it works even better at that scale.  All the models I bought “for” FoW (15mm) are almost universally used for Battlegroup games.

Chain of Command also by the Two Fat Lardies can be played in 15mm like FoW, although it is based at Platoon level. The reasonably recent O Group from their sister company Reisswitz Press is set at battalion level and also has a variable activation mechanism I think, although I’m less familiar with that game.

NUTS from Two Hour Wargames is my favorite. It does use an initiative system, but then as figures are moved and come into LOS, both sides get a chance to react — so even if it’s not your turn, your figures may still shoot at an enemy moving into view, etc. It’s got several releases out — a Compendium of optional rules, and scenario books for Stalingrad, Hurtgen Forest, Bastogne, D-Day (Airborne) and the allied campaign in Italy.

Here’s my write-up on it:

Why not just play bolt action with FoW scale mini’s?
