Risus Skirmish

Risus Skirmish is a tactical miniatures combat addon for "Risus the anything RPG" by S. John Ross. The skirmish principles are inspired by "Crossfire" by Arty Conliffe. Risus Skirmish is a simple system for fighting out battles in Risus games where more emphasis on ranged fire and tactical combat is wanted. The original Risus combat rules are great for fast resolution of combat. Risus Skirmish adds tactical maneuvering to the feast.
