A fantasy supplement for Never Mind the Billhooks, Fantasía (or Never Mind the Warlocks) provides gamers with the rules required to set their Billhooks small battle games outside a historical setting and in a fantastical land of their choosing.
The Never Mind the Billhooks Deluxe core rules are required for play, along with two warring factions (around 80 figures per side) of elves, goblins, humans or any other typical fantasy army. Wizards and monsters also play a role in the outcome of Fantasía games, although their touch is light; skilful, or lucky, the use of blades and arrows should win the day.
Here’s the Ruckus is Mike Peters’ highly entertaining, easy-to-learn, low-figure-count, action-packed skirmish game!
Ruckus, the latest mini-ruleset released by Wargames Illustrated, crams a spectacular amount of mayhem, tactical nuance, and entertainment into its 32 pages.
It is a self-contained Medieval skirmish ruleset and its games tend to be fast and furious. You’ll only need twelve figures per player (a standard Retinue consists of three Heroes and nine Retainers) to get into the action, so what are you waiting for?

Inspired by Never Mind the Billhooks, but ready to be played completely independently, Boathooks is a light-hearted card- and dice-driven game of skirmish combat on the high seas.

An ingeniously simple set of Napoleonic rules by Jervis Johnson and the Perrys.
Valour & Fortitude (V&F) is a ruleset that excels at simulating fierce and grand battles with Perry Miniatures’ ranges of plastic and metal figures and bases.
