Can you run wargame like combat with Fudge?

I hear some interesting things about Fudge. But I was wondering if you can bust out the miniatures and run an engaging tactical combat with the system.

I've always found combat to be a good time sink and everyone seems to like it.

Look up Diaspora, which was for Fudge-derived Fate 2e (pre-FATE Core). That had a tactical combat system in it.

Yes but it is a toolkit so you will have to roll your own rules to make it happen. And be warned a +1 is a significant advantage due to the steepness of the bell curve of 4dF.

I took my own stab at it here. Used miniatures and grids during the playtest.

The game as-is?

No.

But FUDGE can be highly modified.

Yeah, while reading the rules, I'm already starting to think of my own hacks, which I think is kind of the point of the system.

For example, instead of ±1 for every situational bonus, you could instead impose degrees of advantage and disadvantage where you reroll -'s or +'s a number of times depending on your situation.

Yes, it is the one feature of FUDGE/FATE that makes it redeemable. Not just redeemable, but with the right mods really useful.
