A few years ago, a pal took up wargaming with 'Great War Spearhead'. I led him to these rules from advice I got from knowledgeable chaps on a wargames' site I no longer visit (TWW). He built some sizeable armies & scratch built some quite impressive trench terrain. We had 5-6 games but unfortunately separated from his wife & lost the figures & terrain in the divorce*.
The lost game (he'd progressed a fair way from this, filling much of the table with trench systems & several hundreds of figures);
However, another pal, with the sentimental attachment to Gallipoli that many Aussies have, has long collected & painted figures of Diggers & Turks. He recently discussed the possibility of actually wargaming with them....from the Gallipoli campaign & maybe into later war Europe (not with the Turks, obviously). He asked me about possible rules.
I didn't really like GWSH, partly because of its scope. We both like Blitzkrieg Commander for WW2 & he wondered if there was anything similar to it for the Great War period - mechanisms, scaling & scope. He has nothing based, no equipment such as artillery etc & no terrain built yet. So - open slather.
Suggestions?

.* He still comes to some of our games but his delight in wargaming has distinctly faded.
