Carpenter S & R. Rules

Osprey Publishing, 2011. — 105 p. — (Ambush Alley - Force on Force). — ISBN 9781472856182.Introduction:
The rules that follow have been designed around a limited number of shared game mechanics - once you’ve learned the basic concepts, you’ll have no trouble applying them to more advanced concepts. This will allow you to spend less time learning rules and more time actually playing games.Force on Force is very flexible with regard to the number of figures or space required to play. A thrilling and satisfying game can be played using a dozen figures per side on a two foot square board or using dozens of figures supported by vehicles on a huge gaming table. Ineither instance, the game-play will be quick, satisfying, and will reward players who use sound battlefield tactics.While a tremendous amount of effort has gone into making Force on Force a truly modern rule-set capable of recreating both traditional, kinetic engagements between similar forces and asymmetric counterinsurgencies, the mechanics presented here are easily modifiable for use in virtually any period within the age of gunpowder. Force on Force puts the emphasis on the man behind the gun, not the gun itself, and this design philosophy allows the rules to embrace a level of universality that might otherwise prove impossible.
