Nodal Wars: Skirmish is a primarily 6mm wargame loosely based on many of the Anime cartoons from the mid 1980’s. The game takes care to allow players the flexibility to not only play games that are representative of what they had seen on TV and also in movies, but also open enough that they can adapt units from other genres and be able to mix and match forces and let the imagination run wild. Meant to be played with somewhere between 10 and 20 units per player it can easily be scaled up for larger battles.

The rules are based on an alternating activation system. Players will place their forces into squads and alternate with each other. Players will be able to choose how and when to maneuver their forces in order to try to outmaneuver and outperform each other. Players can try to pull each other out of positions where they can finish them off and obtain a win.

The rules are designed in such a way as to allow players to minimize the need to reference the book and any tables within. You may also wish to look into Tactics, a tactical scale version of this ruleset designed to be played with roughly 2-3x the number of figures at a time.

Currently I have converted
All of the first CAV Kickstarter Units
All of the Robotech First War Units and the Robotech Master's stuff
All of the Battletech 3050 Clan Mechs and am working on some 3039 mechs and the celestials.

If you are interested in helping test the rules out and comparing to other systems please feel free to PM me or you can also join us on Facebook at the Nodal Wars: Skirmish.

Currently working on 3039 units for Battletech and then the CAV units and then some conventional units and then back to battletech.

Battletech 3039 Lights and half the mediums are also now complete

Battletech 3039 Lights to Heavies are now complete!

Battletech Celestials by request but only in Invictus Configuration. Now on to Heavy Gear conversions.

I assumed the Manei Domini upgrades would boost the pilots actions and piloting skill much like the advanced controls on a Robotech Bioroid.

Thanks you for all the conversions, Mike. I will probably need to do some kind of HG/Macross crossover in the near future

A large chunk of Macross has been done for RRT. Converting those will be easy. Shoot, I even did paper stand ins for the Macross stuff already. I'm going to finish the other Celestial configs and then back to working on HG. With HG I think we already have the damage and weapon conversions good to go.

Celestials Done....

I would try the rules out if I had time but they look great on paper

Much appreciated. I will keep going. I have plans on putting this together and making things more professional and marketable just need more time to make it happen.

Heavy Gear Caprice done....NoCoal next and then some DZC.

Updated Caprice and added 1/2 of NuCoal Faction.....

I had to slow down some due to work and health concerns.
