SKIRMISH RULES FOR SWORD SHIELD BOW SPEAR CATAPULT CAVALRY GAMES by Mark Ainsworth ref140867 and icosahedron152 from rpol.net playtested & some improvements by Thomaston at www.thewargameswebsite.com
----------------
These rules have NO! record keeping, any effects are to push back, Kill, or knock over(unconscious) units. there meant to be simple but be able to simulate many things.
----------------
There are two catagories of units, Combat units & Leaders, you can have any type of unit in the combat catagory, but you can only have a foot or cavalry unit in the Leaders catagory(leaders cant use ranged weapons).
------------------
a cobat unit attacks with a D10, you can add more d10s to the attack for certain things, but you only choose one for the combat effect, so if you rolled 3 D10s because your on a hill and are elite, then you roll 3 d10s and choose witch one to use. you get d8 or a d6 for negative number of combat d10s
-------------------
if you get into a negative number of d10s, negative 1 you go to a d8, negative 2 you got to a d6, the list of results gets smaller increasing the possability of losing iniative
--------------------
each d10 combat roll has a differrent effect,
----------------------------------
1 lose initative, play passes to other side
2 Attacker killed
3 defender killed
4 defender falls down unconscious
5 Attacker falls down unconscious
6 your repled back 12 inch's
7 defender pushed back 12 inch's
8 your repled back 1 inch
9 defender pushed back 1 inch
0 you remain locked in Melee, you may continue turn, or reattack
------------------
each leader can roll a d6 to aid an attack or to help defend a unit, if leader is in a 12 inch range, only one leader per side may
--------------------
participate in a attack, but may participate in as many attack that occure in range.
---------------------
each d6 Leader roll has a differrent effect,
-----------------
1 lose initative, play passes to other side
2 add an attack dice to an attack roll
3 stop a 1 inch pushback
4 stop a 12 inch pushback
5 remove a dice from attack
6 Heal an unconsouse unit within a 7 inch range
--------------------------------------------------------
the game is played by initiative, whoever has it can move and attack, but the other side can roll for leaders in each attack, or fire ranged units at any moving unit, ranged units can fire every time a unit moves BUT only with one attack dice.
--------------------
a combat foot unit has 3 types light , medium, heavy. Light is just hand weapons like daggers & bows, swords or axes, Medium are pikes or spears, Heavy catapults etc..
--------------------
Light combat units can move 12 inches.
Medium 8 inches
heavy 4 inches
--------------------
--------------------
a combat cavalry unit has 2 types light , heavy. Light is just hand weapons like bows, swords or axes, Heavy are lances or spears.
--------------------
Light cavalry combat units can move 18 inches.
Heavy cavalry combat units 12 inches
--------------------
each attack or leader combat roll has a base dice , plus or minus dice for advantages or disadvantages.
-------------------------------------------------
A cavalry combat base roll is one d10 against other cavalry units(but against foot a cavary unit can charge and gain 6 inches movement and light cavalry use two combat dice, Heavy get three combat dice)
-----------------------------
a foot unit has one d10 as a base combat roll, plus or minus dice for differrent thigs. negative number of dice goes to a d8 , and a d6
------------------
elite plus one d10
enemy elete minus one d10
on a hill plus one d10
attacking uphill minus one d10
pike against cavary plus one d10 (no d10 for ranged fire against cavary)
defender in trees minus one d10
defender behind cover minus one d10.
if attacker is Medium combat units you get an extra combat d10
if attacker is heavy combat units you get an extra two combat d10
if defender is Medium combat units you minus a combat d10
if defender is heavy combat units you minus a combat d10
---------------------
Notes
cavalry may not charge in forests
cavalry may not charge if defender is behind cover
cavary may not attack over hard cover
any roll that loses initative, does lose initiative, you dont get to choose a differrent die, so a 1 on a d10 d8 or d6 will lose iniative.
if a ranged unit fires while an enemy is moving, or in a combat attack BUT its not in close range of an enemy and gets an attacker killed result, you ignore it as a miss. 
if a unit is in base to base combat & loses the initiative, then the unit step apart 2inches.
every combat roll has a minimum of a base dice which happens to be a d6 for negative 2, so negative two(d6) is the minimum combat roll
when you move into contact with the enemy you must roll for combat]]>

I also wanted a fully assembled one
I chose XYZ Printing da Vinci mini w 3D printer (fully assembled), Wireless, FREE for: £12 300g PLA filament, £15 maintenance tools, modelling software, and video tutorials, 15x15x15cm Built Vol.
it had the tools & a starter filiment too
i went to the xyz site and signed up before I needed to whiles installing
I found I needed xyzmaker full package on a windows 10 machine, the software was very confusing which was needed, but just get the maker full package.
I watched videos on the site while i waited for delivery there pretty short, i also was hungry for youtube tutorials on unboxing and assembling, this worked out because i knew everything when it arrived
I was frightend with other peoples experiences, but if you prepare and do everything right your fine, the problem i found was i did not know which way round the filliment went i watched some videos and spotted the correct way
you need to know when you load or unload filiments you need to choose it in the options then the nozzle heats up and you can push it on or off
I decided i did not want to waste the small free filliment on something simple so i got a terrain piece a church & went for it. its now printing as i write, yoo open it in maker and just press print
i forgot to check if everything was level before i printed but wow it told me auto leveling, this is why i bought this printer for the ease of use
I did not have any glue , but i printed anyway . Im half way through the print and its fine
I put the sheet on the bottom to far left, because i thought it was going to cover the whole plate, so i was worried a full size model would not fit, but I used a 15cm model and it just fits, have a look at the photo i posted
also I worried so much i would do something wrong, i did not even check if the nozzle was a card distance from the base, it seems that it worked right out of the box and is more tollerent than i thought, to see the print working is amazing, the other software you get is for tablets or phones, I intent to make models so Im not going to use a tablet im using a PC with a big monitor.
this printer comes with modeling software & its easy to use, I tried blender, I like blender but the software is much simpler, Im glad i have both. the models can be 15cm x 15cm x 15cm I realised this was big enough for models at 25-28mm scale or below.
I looked at some models on line & some seem to print out a kit to glue together, Im afraid i want stability in my models, if i want a kit ill buy one. Ive not looked at much yet so dont asume i know what im talking about yet Its my first day, these are just my thoughts etc...
Im amazed is the simple conclusion, when you realise you can print scenery , you start planning your battlefield. the filiments are more expensive BUT! you avoid many options to set , the printer already knows what it prints with. its super simple to get going.
