Greetings and I hope I am not breaking any rules. An acquaintance of mine directed me here as you guys might find this to be of interest.
My name is Ivan and I'm a Portland indie wargames author of some skill and limited renown. Probably my most successful game is Fast And Dirty (FAD4)
I am working on a rather different WW2 miniatures game that I am hoping to raise some funds for.
Essentially, this will be a man to man combat game with the following characteristics:
Very quick and easy to play (no charts).
Campaign rules where your figures develop skills as you play.
Can play player determined scenarios or generate troops and missions randomly.
A lot of narrative elements. A mission may be a routine patrol at the front or it may be a trip to check out a ruined farm house for buried wine bottles.
Initially, the game will cover the "big four" (Germans, Soviets, Americans, Commonwealth) and focus on Europe late war but depending on funding, I'd like to expand that as much as possible.
The game will work with any figures you have (I play in 15mm personally but it'd be well suited to play in larger scales, if you've been interested in delving into collecting a bit of WW2 stuff without going broke)
So if you are interested in a different kind of game, give it a look and I appreciate any support.
The rules are coming together at a decent pace, so backers get access to the beta immediately, which includes most of the combat rules and the preliminary campaign stuff.

I am more than happy to answer any questions here as well, of course.
