I have neglected to mention this here before, but one of my projects is a modern-ish miniature war game utilizing plastic soldiers and Fudge. Yes, those plastic soldiers. (Perhaps my favorite of all console games is Army Men 3D, which is fully half the inspiration for this project — the other half being the plastic soldiers themselves and my memory of playing with them as a young lad.) Fudge, I realize, is not combat rules-heavy, but I think it is flexible enough and powerful enough to support a fast-paced and tactically interesting war game (or skirmish game, to be more precise). Details will follow.

fudge + plastic soldiers = fun for me too! …brings back the days. but wait, i still play with my 7 year old boy and our 1,000+ toy plastic soldiers! please let us know when your rules are ready for playtesting… we want to try it out. :)
I’ll be happy to oblige. Thank you for the added motivation! :-)
I have been *toying* (excuse the pun) with Toy Soldiers and Fudge for several years. I have the old Plastic Fudge War rules on my website and the ones we use now in a coffee stained notebook on my desk!
I have found the Fudge Ladder is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread and powdered sugar!
I would love to see your ideas!

Thanks for the comment! Thanks also for the reminder that I need to return to this project and finish it.
Yes, the trait ladder changed my life. (But it hasn’t cured me of procrastination.)
