Precis Intermedia brings this fast-playing miniatures game (originally published by North Shore Press) back in PDF format.

FROM THE ORIGINAL BACK COVER:

A Fistfull of Miniatures is a fast-playing set of Miniatures rules for beginners and veterans alike. Whether you have 100 figures or 10,000, A Fistfull of Miniatures can handle it. Indeed, A Fistfull of Miniatures has something for everyone:

  • For the First Time Gamer: An entire section devoted to getting started, from how to organize an army to how to make a battlefield.
  • For the Novice: Easy to understand basic rules, just 7 pages and you're ready to go!
  • For the Veteran: Optional advanced rules add as much detail as you want!

A unique combat system allows figures based from other rules to be used without modification. Fast-playing rules allow games to be played to conclusion in 2 hours. Open-ended point system allows for any army, Historical or Fantasy, to be used. Could Rome have defeated the Vikings? Can greeks defeat Gargoyles? Find out with A Fistfull of Miniatures!

Expanded by For a Few Miniatures More, also available here.

Note: This scanned reprint of the classic 1986 game incorporates the most recent errata and even its quirky artwork. It is designed for use with 15mm miniatures, but can also be adapted for use with 25mm miniatures. Requires 2 six-sided dice and 1 averaging die (available from Precis Intermedia, although a normal die can be substituted).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
