Suggested Rules: Bolt Action "U.S.S.R." (Ultra Simple Skirmish Rules)
Intent: Introduction to 28mm, WW2 miniature wargaming. Suitable for Conventions, Club Open Game nights, Demonstrations, even History class visual aid. This is a light skirmish game with out heavy equipment, fixed emplacements or vehicles.
Terrain/Set-up: 48" x 48" surface with medium assortment of trees, hedges, stone walls evenly dispersed throughout. Also 2-3 buildings should be set near center to represent a farmhouse or family homestead.
Recommended Miniatures: because of the semi-historical backstory, I opted for Artizan Designs miniatures. Appropriate Bolt Action, Foundry, Crusader figs will work perfectly well.
