Cossack Wars is a set of miniatures rules designed to simulate small-scale warfare between cossacks of the 17th and 18th century. It is a skirmish-type wargame with individual figures representing single cossacks. They are given various personalized characteristics. The rules are simple and perhaps somewhat reduced to produce quick play. The rule book also contains 13 prepared scenarios of various sizes of which the largest would require 180 figures (360 figures to also represent dismounted cossacks) and the smallest 30 (60).
