Crestfall Skirmish Rules

Crestfall Lightweight Skirmish Game
Crestfall is a skirmish game designed for quick play and no book keeping. To play, choose up to 10 miniatures or models per side, set up
your table with as much terrain as you see fit (the more the better). Grab small tokens/coins to track moves and at least three
tokens/coins to track special abilities. Movement is governed by a popsicle stick, or 5 inches. Unlike other skirmish games you DO NOT
have to activate each model per turn. You can spend all your moves on one or two model if you wish. This allows for more versatility
and heroic actions by models.
