Blasted Planets Science Fiction Skirmish Rules
Blasted Planets is Lance Runolfsson’s set of free science fiction skirmish rules to support his line of miniatures. Lance writes:
Blasted Planets Skirmish, is basically a set of house rules a few friends and I use to play games with my Sci-Fi figures. I am not trying to model a “Hard” Sci-Fi environment here. I’m borrowing as much from Horror and Fantasy as I am from Sci-Fi. I mean how serious can you be. When you have, Dog headed, Gator men chasing an Elephant guy around an Omni Field generating White rabbit? There is enough “real” world framework here that basic tactics work (most of the time). But enough of a fantastical element that you really can’t count on the idea that the Fin headed alien with the pin gun is going to nail the cave man with the rock every time.

Voltigeur Napoleonic Lord of the Rings Conversion
Games Workshop’s Lord of the Rings game is a marvelous skirmish system that is readily convertable to many other periods. Hey — Games Workshop proved it by releasing Legends of the Old West, a set of cowboy skirmish rules.
Voltigeur is a conversion of the system for Napoleonic gaming.
I wish I had some 25mm Napoleonic figures so I could try it.
