Close Quarters – Skirmish Miniatures Rules (2014)

Close Quarters: Skirmish, based on our boardgame of the same name, is a fast-paced SciFi miniatures game of small-scale combat operations, suitable for 15mm to 28mm figure scales. Each model represents an individual trooper, vehicle, or crewed weapon; game sizes can range from 12 to 50-60 models (a reinforced platoon of infantry, or a cross attached armored or airborne company), and last from 45 minutes up to a couple of hours.

During each game turn, players activate a variable number of models in one of four segments (couplets) in an effort to complete each mission’s objectives – or to prevent their opponent from completing his. The game includes:

Easy to play game mechanics, with most functions resolved by the roll of a single die.
Basic rules for infantry, support weapons, vehicles, crewed weapons, and indirect fire (including off-board artillery)
22 optional rules for players wanting a more detailed or varied game
Dozens of weapons, troop attributes, and vehicle systems to choose from
Field officers, NCOs, snipers, hackers, sappers, MBTs, tank destroyers, IFVs, VTOLs, antitank guns, power armor troopers, and a number of possibilities for some very non-human opponents
11 standard scenarios that scale in both table size and number of game turns depending on the forces chosen for use by each player
A campaign game system that allows your men to improve over the course of the conflict
Complete rules for creating and fielding forces of your own design
Four pre-generated forces, representing human and alien factions in the late 25th century, along with TO&E and unit stats for each
Two playable sample campaign game forces
Blank, edit-enabled troop/vehicle and campaign game roster PDF forms
All necessary game markers, templates, and charts
Whether your mission takes place in an industrial complex, in the open field, or within the confines of a starship’s corridors, Close Quarters: Skirmish places the success or failure of each mission into the most capable hands: yours.
