Default Moden Skirmish rules

I need help slogging through the huge inventory of SJG stuff...

Arguably Melee is the most basic, simple and easy to use system ever developed. i am looking for that kind of ( or nearly ) in a Modern Skirmish rules system for a small number of mini's to use representing the "Three Block War" senarios.


Then player in the Tacoma area.....

I don't think that SJG currently has anything along those lines (maybe Frag comes close). But I think that e23.sjgames.com carries some Precis Intermedia Games titles that might fit your description (look for "Fistful of Miniatures").

Moved to the Miniatures section, where you're far more likely to get a knowledgeable reply.

I looked around in the Mini area and found nothing.

Some research has turned up a SJG called Hot Lead. Dont believe it ever hit the shelf....

Appreciate everyones input.

Ambush Alley and Force on Force, from Ambush Alley Games, are good skirmish level miniatures rules.

For WWII, Nts! and it's follow ons, from Two Hour Wargames, is fun.

For more info on miniature wargaming, The Miniatures Pages http://theminiaturespage.com/
and it's forums are very useful. Membership, which will let you post on the forums, is free.

???

I'm confused.

You can purchase hard copy vesions of Ambush Alley's and Two Hour Wargames products. I know that my FLGS can order THW's items through their distributer, as I asked.

You can purchase both company's item as PDFs, also.

Which type is your preference, hard copy or electronic?

Thanks Whitestreak. I have seen them. Did download Chainreaction from another site. I have not looked at it yet.

AA only has pdf.

So i will wait til the new AA stuff becomes availible from Osprey.

And my search continues....
