Slammer: S.M.L.E.
Chris & Alex Nicole 2004
Slammer : SMLE is a set of wargame rules for skirmish games using miniatures.
SMLE is designed as a modular rules system, i.e. you should be able to use the bits you like, and/or replace the bits you don't like. The Activation system is based on studies of Twentieth Century infantry squad tactics, chiefly Paddy Griffith's "Forward into Battle". It should work well for C20 games.
