    INTRODUCTION

    A set of skirmish rules for games set in the Back of Beyond using 28mm figures each player
    would normally command 8-12 figures the rules are ideal for multi player games where the
    players have different and often contradicting objective.

    TURN SEQUENCE

    e
    At the start of the turn roll for initiative to determine the order the players will move in the
    highest score going first.

    fil
    ACTIVATION

    The player who’s turn it is rolls 2D6 and adds 1 if they still have a figure with the leadership
    ability on the table this is the number of actions their troops can undertake during the turn
    each figure has a maximum number of activations it can make so it is possible that they may
    e
    not be able to use all of them.

    Activation types are as follows


    pl
    Move The figure moves can be done multiple times

    Shoot The figure shoots can be done multiple times

    Aim Can only be done directly before shooting no use if armed with a musket
    m

    Rally Must be the first action a figure takes in the move

    Sentry Must be the only action the figure takes in the move

    VISIBILITY

    Figures are considered to be able to see anything they have a line of sight to areas of terrain
    that block line of sight such as woods can be seen into up to 4ins and figures inside a wood
    can see other figures in the wood up to 6ins away. These figures can be changed to
    represent denser areas of terrain as required, exactly how terrain effects visibility should be
    defined before the start of the game.

    e
    MOVEMENT

    fil
    When a figure is moved it may change facing before and after the move but the move its
    self must be in a straight line.

    Foot move up to 6ins or 4ins in bad going deducting 1ins to cross any obstacles and a further
    2ins if wounded.

    Mounted move up to 12ins or 6ins in bad going also deducting 1ins to cross an obstacle
    e
    Exactly what counts as good or bad going should be decided before the start of play and it is
    possible to have some terrain that has a greater effect on movement or that is classed as
    pl
    impassable.

    A moving figure can elect to run adding 1D6 ins to their movement this can only be done in
    good going and only once/turn the figure is also unable to change facing after the move is
    completed running is not possible for wounded figures.
    m

    CHARGING

    This is a move that ends in contact with an enemy figure resulting in a melee being fought
    Sa

    the figure being charged must take a morale test to see how they respond to the charge.

    SENTRY

    If an enemy figure moves in their line of sight they may fire at it, this lasts either they are
    attacked by the enemy or they are activated to do something else.
