Guerilla ! 1997

Guerilla ! is a miniature skirmish ruleset published in Vae Victis magazine issue #15. The game simulates battles of the mid-nineteenth century, especially the many colonial wars of the era.

The game uses a simple chit-pull system to alternate figure activation. An activated figure can move and/or fire, reload a weapon or attack in close combat. The rules include the different firearms available at the time (muzzle- and breach-loading rifles, pistols and carbines), cavalry, cover, morale, experience levels (a veteran figure will reload a weapon faster and have bonuses to morale, shooting and close combat), and a scenario simulating the last moments of the battle of Camerone.

Scale: 1 mini = 1 man, 1 cm = 1 m, a turn = a few seconds
