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.

Does anyone have any info on this?  It says that it works with whatever rule system you are using.  Is it just for large battles, or can it be suitable for smaller skirmishes as well?  I enjoy solo gaming so I'm definitely interested.

Hi. It's main focus is campaign-level guidelines, with some focus on tactical. It augments existing rules systems. In other words, keep your existing rules, but utilize the include guidelines to add more randomness, so that you don't always know what's going to happen. For example, you can add concealment and ambushes without knowing where it will occur for sure until it happens. Or utilize a number of possible invasion routes, with only one actually happening.
