Afterglow

Skirmish Warfare in the Far Future.

The rules for AFTRERGLOW (a 3 page pdf) were designed to allow people with a range of figures to vaporise each other into a satisfying afterglow.

Troop listings are provided for commonly available science fiction miniatures but are modifiable at the discretion of players. Troop types have skill factors for close and ranged combat, armour, speed, courage, leadership, hit points. Troops also have a cost value.

Game sequence is as follows:
