Vehicle designs & technical specification plus an easy play gaming system. Approved by David Drake - author of the Hammer's Slammers books.

This little 7x9 soft cover color booklet combines two aspects often associated with more traditional miniature war games, detailed unit organizations and quick play miniature rules. 20 pages are devoted to technical details, vehicles, and uniform references. While the remaining 20 pages are quickly play set of 1:1 war game rules.

Forces are composed of "Tactical Units" graded on quality (elite, veteran, regular, or untrained). Each turn players receive a variable number of "Leadership Points" based on the quality of their commanders. Standard miniature movement rules and some unique combat mechanics based on a d6 complete the basics for these rules.

Suitable for play in any scale: 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 25mm, or perhaps a variant to the Mayfair classic.
