Saw some amazing 10mm terrain and models and am really wanting to play at that scale. I know Dropzone Commander, Planetfall, and Dystopian Wars are all 10mm. I have no problem using any model in any game because my players are all relaxed about that sort of thing. What other game rules could be used with sci-fi armies in a 10mm world? |

The scifi expansion for my Company Commander rules will work fine (it's intended for 6-15mm). I know people who play Epic in 10mm though it's a bit harder to find some of the figures. Future War Commander works great in 10mm. I don't see any reason why Dirtside wouldn't work. And of course, 10mm skirmish is a thing as well :-) |

Crow: I own that! Now where is it? |

Weasel: Are you referring to Five Core? Does it do vehicles and big monsters? |
Weasel | 18 May 2015 7:47 p.m. PST |
Warwick- Yeah, sorry. The Company Commander version has a little scifi expansion with stuff like mecha, robots, bugs, big stompy monsters etc. It's aimed at 10-20 "elements" on the table (individual vehicles or squad-bases) |

I've been thinking about Five Core for a while. Looks like I'm going in. Thanks Weasel. Is there a printed version or just PDF? |

Just PDF. You'll want this link and link (the skirmish rules have vehicles but not really big monsters, and there's not a scifi brigade version…….yet) |

Tomorrow's War will work, though 10mm is getting to the point of being extremely difficult to ID individual infantry weapons. Heavy Gear is also nominally 10mm (1/144 scale to be precise). |

One solution when using small figures in skirmish games is to mark the bases in some fashion, so you can pick out squad leaders, heavy weapons etc. at a glance. |
