Book 1 - Core game
48 pages
The complete fast-player rulebook for two local-force players in a First Chechen War skirmish. It covers character creation, Gold combat, 40 setting skills, weapons and healing, force rosters, terrain, ten scenarios, linked campaigns, and quick-reference tables. Designed for 10 to 20 28mm miniatures per side.
Book 2 - Historical companion
125 pages
A companion reference to the First Chechen War of 1994 to 1996. It covers the conflict's origins and operations, political and religious context, war economy, leaders, federal forces, weapons, terrain, local factions, historical case studies, ethics, and source notes. Use it for background and scenario support; the Book 1 rulebook remains the authority for play.
