-------------------
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

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

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 d4 for negative 3, so negative thrree(d4) is the minimum combat roll
when you move into contact with the enemy you must roll for combat
if you dont have any d8s use all d10s(minimum of one d10 per combat roll)
if your using GUNs then you can attack with a GUN just like a sword in melee, you still get to fire when opponant moves.
granades are treated like ranged weapons except you cant use while you dont have the iniative, BUT you must roll a D6 to throw one, if the D6 roll > 4 then you can throw it BUT if you roll a 1 the thrower loses iniatative for a miss-thrown granade(this is to limit ammo & stop exesive use)
dynamite are treated like ranged weapons except you cant use while you dont have the iniative, BUT you must roll a D6 to throw one, if the D6 roll a 6 then you can throw it BUT if you roll a 1 the dynamite kills the thrower (this is to limit ammo, and stop exesive use)
shotguns are powerfull at short range, they get an extra d10
foot mounted rocket launcher are treated like ranged weapons, BUT you must roll a D6 to throw one, if the D6 roll a 6 then you can fire it(this is to limit ammo, because most launchers only had 2 shots but we dont want to keep paperwor in these rules)
vehicles and Big guns like Tanks use the ww2 Vehicles rules expansion
chariots are classed as heavy, and attack like a mounted & can charge but movement is 12 inches 18 when charging, they are spear or bow,

you need Line of sight to fire, when firing roll one d10, the effect of the roll are
----------
Gun power adds d10s to the number of d10s you roll, BUT only one d10 result is used. GUN power can be upto3 extra dice, you decide before play how powerfull differrent GUNs are,
-----------
Armour strength subtracts a d10s to the number of d10s rolled in an attack on it. Armour strength can be upto 3, you decide before play how strong differrent armoured units are, a unit behind cover is classed as armored, if the d10 combat roll is reduced below 1 then the armour is more than enough to stop the shot so the attack has no effect
-----------

=================================================================================
=================================================================================
This is a loose universal A.I. for solo miniture wargaming, lists can be more relavant to the battle by editing relavant events
action points are gained for things like number of units, or number of leaders, or how many enimies in LOS, or randomly decided, or a fixed number per side, or terrain effects on leaders, or comunication level of units(comunication level could be calculated by how many messengers you have, how many leaders, or how many radios, or how many small vehicles etc...) there should be a minimun number of action points.
for each action point you have this turn you roll two 10 sided dice to get a number between 1 and 100 and find the event in the list, then mark the event ready to execute, when all action points have been rolled you select the events in any order and apply to your game, then the turn passes to opponant.
this list limits what each side can do, so solo play is playable, you do your best within the events available to you.

SKIRMISH RULES FOR ABOUT 10 FIGURE WARBANDS SWORD SHIELD BOW SPEAR CATAPULT CAVALRY GUNS GAMES by Mark Ainsworth ref140867 and icosahedron152 from rpol.net playtested & some improvements by Thomaston at www.thewargameswebsite.com
the games are played with small numbers of figures like warbands.
----------------
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.
----------------
ACTION RULES
------------
Actions are things a unit does like climbing, swimming, breaking down a door,hiding, sneaking, spotting detecting hidden things or units,use magic for things like raising a dead monster like skelitens, blocking a magic effect, setting things on fire, putting fires out, building defensive positions. or any action like these.

If any action is taken, your are treated as if your are moving, this means the enemy can use ranged fire and have leader asistance. you must also roll a d10 for every action , if a 0 is rolled you lose initiative.

Magic is for Fantasy games, you can only have one magition/sorcerer/witch/druid etc in each warband. A magic user rolls 3 D6s and they add there skill level to the d100 dice roll. BUT if magic is being used the opposing magic user can roll 2D6s and subtract it from your roll. Magic users must be within 18inches of the spell target.

each action has a difficulty rating from 0 to 100, the lower the roll the better, an almost imposible action would be greater than 98, an extreamly simple action would be less than 100.

2 D10s can be used get a number from 1 to 100
-----------
ACTION DIFFICULTY TABLE
short climb    roll a d100 above 5 suceeds
medium climb    roll a d100 above 35 suceeds
high climb    roll a d100 above 55 suceeds
short swim    roll a d100 above 5 suceeds
medium swim    roll a d100 above 25 suceeds
long swim    roll a d100 above 45 suceeds
breaking down a wooden door    roll a d100 above 25 suceeds
breaking down a Heavy wooden door    roll a d100 above 65 suceeds
breaking down a metal door/gate    roll a d100 above 85 suceeds
hiding    roll a d100 above 25 suceeds
sneaking    roll a d100 above 45 suceeds
spotting detecting hidden things or units    roll a d100 above 55 suceeds
use magic for things like raising a dead monster like skelitens    roll a d100 above 65 suceeds
blocking a magic effect    roll a d100 above 65 suceeds
setting things on fire    roll a d100 above 15 suceeds
putting fires out    roll a d100 above 45 suceeds
building defensive positions    roll a d100 above 25 suceeds

add more actions if required, and decide a difficulty value

NOTES ON ACTIONS   
If you fail an action then you lose initiative, play passes to the other side.
If a unit is hidden it cannot be attacked, but it can be spotted and then attacked, hidden is perminant untill it moves or attacks.
if a unit is sneaking it cannot be attacked, but it can be spotted and then attacked, sneaking lasts while your moving it.

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 d4 for negative 3, so negative thrree(d4) is the minimum combat roll
when you move into contact with the enemy you must roll for combat
if you dont have any d8s use all d10s(minimum of one d10 per combat roll)
if your using GUNs then you can attack with a GUN just like a sword in melee, you still get to fire when opponant moves.
chariots are classed as heavy, and attack like a mounted & can charge but movement is 12 inches 18 when charging, they are spear or bow,
if a figure is in base contact with a vehicle it can enter it as part of its movement, it can exit into base contact at then end of the vehicle move
if a unit enters dificult ground, movement is quartered.
