Hello all,
I've just released the first version of my free fantasy skirmish rules entitled Dented Helm. You can get them here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12l3B29EH_d8ULQ2sowOIyFXQqNmsHJcp/view?usp=sharing
It is based on the skeleton of Ravenfeast and One Page Fantasy Skirmish, with a dash of ideas from other places too. It is intended for quickly getting miniatures onto the table in man-to-man style engagements, and incorporates some mechanics for more RPG-style interactions within the game too if wished. It is flexible enough for you to customise and add things to so that you can easily cater to your style of game.
Let me know your thoughts and comments.

They look like a good set of rules.
They are straight forward and shot which I like.
Good luck with these.

Looks fun and simple.  I couldn't see the effect of a serious wound compared to a normal one.  Also it seems an unlikely event (1 in 6 * 1 in 6 * normal chance of wounding therefore something like 1 in 50 to 1 in 200) therefore is the rules overhead worth it for a such rare occurrence?

Is there scope to have wounds as modifiers to any tests.  eg +1 modifier for each wound?

I really like the Pulp Alley initiative rules and these could be tacked on to your game.  So the player that wins initiative decides which player next moves a model.

Thanks all!
With regard to the Serious Wound rule, it comes into play in the end phase as it forces morale tests for all friendlies within a range of 6. True it is an edge case, but has the potential for a ripple of cowards!
