Title: SW Legion and other rules.
Post by: Machinegunkelly on April 01, 2018, 12:19:58 PM

Ok I caved in and bought Legion mostly for the miniatures. Although I am going to try out the rules, I'm wondering if there are any other good small scale skirmish rules made for SW out there? . I would prefer rules that do not use cards only Dice.

There is always 7tar Wars:

Though there are cards involved but only as part of the turn countdown (it is a game in three acts).

Maybe check out my Future Combat rules.
No cards only dice, and well established!

Rogue Stars works pretty well right out of the box.

While not using the Legion minis, I have been running it with a pretty close thing using the WotC prepainted minis

I don't have any of the others so I'd second Rogue Stars although I do also recall using A Fistful of Kung Fu to good effect.

Using the Inquisimunda rules as a baseline (based in turn on the original Necromunda rules), it shouldn't be too difficult to re-skin (and/or re-stat as appropriate) into the Star Wars mythos.

AE:Bounty is basically SW by another name, and is a pretty nice set of rules. It also includes lots of scenarios, a campaign with progression (if you want it), and various exotic terrain rules for things like fighting aboard space stations.

Thanks for all the replies. I´ll look through the suggestions and have a long think about it.

I've used Frostgrave for Star Wars. A lot of the spells lend themselves to Force powers.

Two rulesets I've been looking at are:

Personal project from gamers of mongoose publishing which did include them being playtested and was outlined in a development blog.
Star Wars 7th ed. 40K https://ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com/2015/04/08/codex-star-wars-downloads/

and

Fubar have some Star Wars rules, a nice respected set of free rules and also covers prequels if you'd like to try and get some Clone Troops and Battle Droids:
