Micro Miniatures ADVANCED Rules is an easy to learn and rules-light tabletop miniatures skirmish game. Micro-Minis is a rules-light miniatures gaming system intended to help new gamers more easily jump into the world of tabletop skirmish warfare. This ADVANCED rulebook included rules for purchasing weapons, armor, and items. Additionally, it includes new rules for Confidence and Retreats not featured in the basic version of the rules. The game is intended to be an inexpensive entry into gaming. Players can use any gaming figurines or miniatures they have on hand. The game only uses six-sided dice (referred to as D6 in these rules). Finally, gaming terrain and buildings aren’t necessary (but can add some neat flavor if you have them). These ADVANCED rules build on the FREE basic ones and act as a great starting place for the system. It is intended as a completely open-ended game. Play with any miniature you want in any universe or genre you want. Mix up genres if you feel like. The point is to simply have fun. This specific rulebook offers slightly more ADVANCED concepts and ideas for the game system. It is also perfect for experienced gamers looking for an easy, fast, and fun beer and pretzels style game they can pull out on the fly without very much time to invest in setup and lengthy game times. Later rulebooks will offer expanded rules and options for specific themes, genres, and unit types. —description from the publisher
