There are many rules available for free download. Which are your favorite(s)?

FUBAR is really neat. For my money (or lack thereof) Beamstrike: A really awesome remaster of the Imperial Commander rules.

Fast and Dirty adds a bit of the flavour that can get lost in Stargrunt II.
The Nigerian Lead Minister	08 Oct 2016 3:45 p.m. PST
Fast and Dirty, second vote.

FUBAR and Stargrunt II for sure. I haven't tried FaD yet.
tmason	08 Oct 2016 4:10 p.m. PST
Stargrunt ii for me, but with quite a few house rules.

Stargrunt ii for me, but with quite a few house rules. What house rules do you use?
lloydthegamer	08 Oct 2016 6:53 p.m. PST
Fast and Dirty (FAD) Stargrunt II, and Dirtside

Warhammer 40k.
Weasel	08 Oct 2016 7:45 p.m. PST
Still blows my mind when people say FAD after so many years. You guys are the best :-)

Infinity is the best for small scale skirmishes. It can be scaled up using the fire team rules but will still function like it has 20 or fewer models on the table. I guess if you did that it would top out at about 40 models a side. It really is a spectacular set and, once you get the hang of it, is pretty simple to play if you want it to be. However it has many layers that can be added to it with the different models and their abilities.

StarGrunt II. My house rules cover psionics and robots. I also have rules for abstract movement and combat under a city, based on Squad Leader.
