Anyone know a easy to learn and free rule set for 28mm post apocalyptic miniatures (fallout)?

Wastelands 3: Meltdown.

I second Mutants and Death Ray Guns, plays like a apocalyptic fantasy short range game. If you like full table ranges then Flying Lead by the same company. The games are designed for small units, plays fast, and offers troop, weapon and vehicle design tools.

There is also Nuclear Renaissance 2 by Ramshackle. Not quite Fallout in setting but a good fun ruleset.

There is also a Fallout set of rules for THWG Chain Reaction. It works well.

Some gamers use the Necromunda rules for Post Apoc. The power armour, energy weapons and Ogryn stats already exist in the 40k rules so it covers it pretty well.

Being a mainly Post Apoc gamer I have tried most of the rule sets mentioned. MDRG is good fun but misses the Super Mutant and Ghoul stats of Fallout where they are stronger. I love the Skank rules but many don't like the mechanics. Wastelands 3 Meltdown is great fun and has a superb campaign system. Chain Reaction 3 plays well and is great for solo play.

Do you have a link for the Fallout rules to go with Chain Reaction? I took a look on Post Apoc Wargames but the link there was dead.

You'll find it and lots of other PA files on their THW Archive Yahoo Group:-

I forgot to mention how easy to learn and play Wastelands 3 is.

@ Gomes - PM sent!

Hi,

I'm also interested in Wastelands 3: Meltdown, but I can't find a website to download it.

Another question, is the game compatible with 15mm miniatures ? I plan to make a fallout-like table.

Thanks !

You can find them here

However the link appears to be dead so if you PM one of the moderators they will sort you out.

Can we get a sticky with a compiled list of rulesets? I noticed there are two threads on this same topic already.
