SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The year 1986 marked the release of A Fistfull of Miniatures, a game that pitted armies of 15mm figures against each other. Capable of handling 100 to 10,000 figures, A Fistfull of Miniatures offered unique, fast-playing mechanics.

Twenty years later, Precis Intermedia re-releases A Fistfull of Miniatures along with its companion book For A Few Miniatures More in both PDF and Print.

Today, Precis Intermedia announces the upcoming release of A Fistfull of Miniatures Second Edition Basic Game. This book, to be available in both PDF and Print, provides a reorganized, more-thoroughly explained set of rules intended for historical battles. Sample armies, battle scenarios, and instructions for creating your own armies are provided. The simple design means that once your armies are detailed, no further paperwork is required. Collect all your 15mm miniatures for battle, using standard WRG basing sizes (25mm also compatible with some tweaking). And if you don't have miniatures, templates are provided for making them out of paper. Planned expansions include the Advanced Game and Fantasy Battles.

Can it handle pike-and-shot era battles?
On weird fantasy: "The Otus/Elmore rule: When adding something new to the campaign, try and imagine how Erol Otus would depict it. If you can, that\'s far enough...it\'s a good idea. If you can picture a Larry Elmore version...it\'s far too mundane and boring, excise immediately." - Kellri, K&K Alehouse

Then it's dead to me.
