Правила для варгеймов уровня дивизий по теме ВМВ от Арти Конлиффа, первое издание произвела Quantum Printing в 1995 г. Специально для "любителей больших тусовок" (с). Правила достаточно старые, однако до сих пор пользующиеся популярностью у любителей грандиозных сражений.
Масштаб игры:один дюйм = 100 ярдам, одна подставка пехоты или одна модель техники/орудия — один взвод, рекомендуемый масштаб моделей: опытные зарубежные комдивы, как и сами разработчики, предпочитают 6 мм, но разрешено использовать 15 мм и 20 мм фигуры с соответствующими поправками к измерениям.

SPEARHEAD is a complete rules set that simulates Division-level tactics of WW II. The emphasis is on
commanding a multi-battalion force, and all gamemechanics serve that priority.

In every period of warfare there existed some manner of tactical procedure, or doctrine, based upon the operational combat limitations of the period and the armies within that period. A common misconception among many rules writers is that WW II was different in this regard than earlier periods. Because of the advances in technology before and during the war, writers often focus on those concerns. Consequently, many WW II games function no differently than western shoot-outs with big guns. In these games we see tank and infantry units moving randomly about the battlefield, with no regard for unit boundaries, orders or operating doctrine, blowing-up whatever targets may appear.

WW II did bring greater tactical flexibility, increased mobility and a more efficient communications system than in any previous era. These advances in technology did not obviate the need for tactical doctrine. They did not permit random maneuver, or offer infallible intelligence, or simplify the commander's role in battle. Rather, these advances complicated the commander's job, especially since he could personally observe less of his operational front than in any previous era.

We believe it is not enough to represent merely the weapons employed by a given army. Instead, the tactical operating system and the inherent limitations brought about by the realities of combat are stressed.
