One Hour Skirmish Wargames

 

My eldest gave me a Waterstones book token for my birthday back in January, but a visit to the local shop yesterday turned up a blank, so I'm going to use it to order a copy of this set of fast play skirmish rules instead.

The system is card-based, which I like, and doesn't use dice, which makes for a change and should be an interesting twist on an established genre. The scenarios included in the rules also sound very much my cup of tea, with the possibility of adapting some of the numerous ones in Neil Thomas's rules to a skirmish format as well. I have some 15mm and 28mm skirmish projects in the doldrums at the moment, so I'm hoping that these rules by an established and experienced designer will give them a boot up the bum.
