I tried out some modifications to the Memoir'44 system to adapt this to a basic skirmish setup. The setting I used was a squad on squad action set in the Fifth Frontier War between an Imperial Marines formation and an equivalent Zhodani Consulate unit. I used the desert board with a scattering of terrain determined randomly. The figures were the orange and red Clone Wars / Star Wars Risk ones which looked excellent.
The rules involve a simple system of activation whereby different coloured chits for each side are used to determine which side can activate a figure and then perform a set action. A single figure can use three chits, however, it becomes increasingly restricted in what can be achieved.
The game played very well with the Zhodani achieving a narrow victory and forcing the Imperial squad to retire with heavy casualties.
This was such a simple adaptation it begs itself to any similar squad skirmish and with a few special rules, provide chrome without compromising simplicity.
