1-48 TACTIC 1-48tactic.com Skirmish based individual figures? Check. 1/48 scale? Check. Low figure count. Plays fast.

I have been having fun with Nuts! by Two Hour Wargames. I play 1/56, but don't see why 1/48 wouldn't work just as well. Bit of a learning curve.

We use the WW2 variant of Fistful of Lead with 54mm stuff, so I'm sure it would work fine for 1/48.

I second Nuts! and One Hour Skirmish Wargames (OHSW). Both fantastic games. I use OHSW with my 40mm WW2 Marines and Japanese. I know off topic but I also use OHSW with my 40mm FIW and AWI troops.

The was a guy at the Colo. Springs wargame club named Walt who developed a large figure (1/32?) WWII skirmish game, IIRC called WFG (IIRC, it was thought to stand for Walt's F$#%ing Game). I don't know if it was ever actually published, but you might take a look around for it.
