    The document provides a summary of the rules for the Simple Skirmish System, which allows for quick skirmish battles using miniatures from 6mm to 32mm in size. The turn sequence involves alternating moves between players where figures can move and shoot or engage in melee combat. Movement is in straight lines, and weapons have different effective and extreme ranges depending on the miniature size. Combat is resolved by rolling dice, with modifiers for factors like cover and range. The rules also cover rallying and the benefits of leader miniatures on a player's forces.

    Simple Skirmish System – S Rev 1.1

    Simple Skirmish System is a simple set of rules that allow skirmish battles to be fought out on a table top with model soldiers. It can
    accommodate model sizes from 6mmm to “heroic” 32mm sized figures.
    As the name suggests it is a simple set of rules that allows for quick games using any type of miniatures you have in your collection. It uses
    an interactive turn sequence which means both players get to act and react in a given turn.
    Items needed for play, normal 6 sided dice (D6), metric tape measure or rule, miniatures, gaming surface any size will do, plenty of scenery.
    Turn Sequence
    The turn sequence consists of the following phases, and continues until one side is either destroyed, withdrawals or the scenario objectives
    have been achieved.
    Before play begins both players roll 1D6, the highest roll takes the initial initiative. Reroll any ties.
    In your turn you may:
     Move and be shot at,
     Combat (Shoot / perform melee), or
     Rally
    You may move either one figure or a group that includes a leader. The entire group must be within effective leadership range of the leader
    and in view of the leader model.
    If you moved and none of your figures was hit, or you shot and you hit someone, or you rallied everyone you tried to rally, you may have
    another turn, otherwise it is your opponent's turn.
    Play carries on alternating until the scenario conditions have been met or your opponent withdrawls.
    Movement
    Move all of the figures in your group in a straight line in any one direction until you reach a wall, woods, stream, or other obstacle. Figures
    that have been hit may not move. You can move as far as you like in your turn per action but you can only move in STRAIGHT lines.
    Your opponent may now shoot at any or all of the figures that you moved (see Shooting). If your opponent hits one of your figures, place it
    where it was shot and mark it as hit.
    Group Moves – if a group has a leader you move the leader model first then position the rest of the squad with in leadership range and they
    all move at the same time.

    Combat - Shooting / Melee


    Shoot at any figures that your group can see in front of them. Figures that have been hit may not shoot. Roll the number of dice as shown
    in the weapons table for each target. (See below)
    You need to score a 5 or 6 to hit a figure, unless it is behind a wall or in a trench, when you need a 6, unless the weapon special rule states
    otherwise.
    You cannot hit a figure that has already been hit.
    Melee is performed the same as shooting but both sides roll 1 dice per figure in base to base combat, the highest being the winner, the
    looser is removed as a casualty. If a draw occurs re-roll until one side wins.

    Range
    Ranges of weapons are based on two measurement values. The first, effective range, is a short close range that many pistols and flame
    weapons fall in to. Extreme range, as the name suggests is the maximum range that a weapon can hit and damage a target.
    Each weapon type will have a number of maximum „effective‟ ranges which it can hit a target. For example, SMG = 2x effective, Assault
    rifle = 6x effective. This means the effective range of a SMG in 6mm will be 100mm & 400mm for 25mm sized figures.
    Range (mm)
    Model Size Effective Extreme
    6mm 50 500
    10 -12mm 80 800
    15 mm 120 1200
    20 mm 160 1600
    25mm 200 2000
    >30mm 240 2400

    Target Prone -1

    Hand-to-Hand
    For hand-to-hand combat, roll a dice each, highest score knocks out lowest. Figures that have been hit automatically lose hand-to-hand
    combat.
    Rallying
    Roll a die for each figure in your group that has been hit. If you roll 1, 2, 3, or 4, the figure rallies. Roll another die for any figure that
    rallies. If you roll a score of 1 or 2, the figure was knocked out and removed from play. Any other score and the figure just hid from the
    shooting and is now OK.
    Leaders
    Leaders allow group moves to be performed and are used to „rally‟ troops.
    Troops that are within the leaders command range can rally on a dice score of 1,2,3,4,5
    Leader Quality Effective leadership range
