Fistful of Lead Core Rules


I'm a big fan of the Fistful of Lead rules by Jaye Wiley, so I was very pleased to see the publication of a core set of the rules, adaptable to any historical setting. I've played a lot of the original western rules and was an enthusiastic backer of Galactic Heroes, the sci-fi variant, although I still haven't got round to playing a game yet. Now that I have some new Star Wars figures, that shouldn't be too after off, assuming I get round to painting them. 

I've also tinkered around in 20mm with the Viva la Revolucion! supplement for the Mexican Revolution, but that's still an on-going project and one that I've sidelined this year, which is a reminder for me to get on with it. Anyway, I'll get a .pdf copy of the new core rules to see if I can use them for the Back of Beyond or WW2 squad level skirmish scenarios, although I'm not sure if they can handle tanks or support weapons like AT guns?

  1. How do you think the rules would work with 15mm miniatures. I have tried out the reloaded version for western games and it worked well. I have a bunch of Star Wars figures to play with my son and am looking at Galactic Heroes for it.

  2. No problem. I'm sure it would work fine in 15mm. I've thought about using Galactic Heroes with some old 15mm Laserburn figures myself. Why not? :O)
