Skirmish Wargames

A collection of games that involve one-figure-per-man (or -per-creature). By far my favorite of this genre is Two Hour Wargames, but also I am including some cross-links to some of the "Silly Games", which are also one-for-one.

Silly Games

Two Hour Wargames produces miniatures games in a variety of skirmish (man-to-man) and battle scales. Their (brilliant) innovation is the two-dice "Rep Check", which is the basis for a surprisingly rich basic game system.

My own personal favorite of their line is Chain Reaction, which is a man-to-man game of any firepower-related era, from about the Old West (in America, that is) through the present, out to some science fiction genres. We have played quite a few Star Wars shoot-em-ups with Chain Reaction.

Here are my own variations on some of the Chain Reaction tables, just because I am an inveterate tinkerer, and can't leave well enough alone, even with my favorite games.
