SKIRMISH: 52C is a modern-era skirmish-sized wargaming rules system that attempts to offer a unique experience each and every game.

Winning strategies must be developed on the fly and against overwhelming odds.
The rules are designed to provide a similar level of comprehensiveness and clarity as rules systems meticulously crafted for competitive play. However, the balance of competitive rulesets does not exist within SKIRMISH: 52C.

Instead, players combat the harsh reflection of the potential realities of warfare. In the face of adversity, you must quite literally play the hand you are dealt and hope for better luck next game.

Number of Players

SKIRMISH: 52C is optimized for play by one to two players. It is possible to accommodate additional players, although it is suggested that players divide control of a team’s models as opposed to introducing additional teams. In these situations, model counts greater than 8 per team are recommended. This
document also includes a supplement to direct and improve the solo play experience.

Setting

SKIRMISH: 52C has been designed to reflect abstracted modern infantry combat on Earth. The ruleset can be used to simulate the battles of the 20th century and beyond. Scope: SKIRMISH: 52C is a skirmish-sized miniature wargame. Players assume the role of a squad leader, commanding 4-12 soldiers.

Dimension

The game plays in 2.5 dimensions. There is a degree of abstraction regarding line of sight and terrain features. This abstraction permits--but does not require--playing SKIRMISH: 52C using a two-dimensional surface such as a dry-erase board in combination with coins or similar tokens. This abstraction also provides flexibility in the three-dimension terrain features that can be implemented. For example, the height of terrain features do not need to be appropriately scaled to the soldier proxies used.

Scale & Units

The boundaries of combat operations are often much less than a square mile. 1 inch (25 mm) within the game world approximates 6 feet (2 meters) in the real world”. 25-32 mm miniatures or tokens are used as proxies for human soldiers. Terrain feature size and distances described in these rules may be scaled appropriately to accommodate alternate miniatures, terrain, or units of measurement. The primary unit of measurement used in this document is inches. Metric approximations are provided but are not exact conversions.

Time

Each model’s “turn” occupies less than a minute of game world time. A game can typically be completed within one hour of real world time.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
