Hi zero,

Yes Ed Teixeira`s rules are very usable for playing skirmishes in 10mm... but remember, most of the rules are full skirmish so you`d only ever really be fielding a handful of miniatures at a time on the table top. I worked quite closely with Ed when making my own Zombie rules, and he`s a nice guy who makes very nice easy to use rules with many optional extras you can either use or ignore in your games.

Check out his free FDF`s to get a feel for the rules and see if you like them. All the systems use (basically) the same rules engine; so read and learn one game, and you`ll get the rest easily.

Six :-)

Yep - agreed; I've played most of Ed's rules over the years: they're great & a good break from the standard approach of UGO-IGO - essentially using a system of reaction tests to determine what happens next: once you've got the core mechanic sussed, they're very intuitive & give a fast, chaotic, cinematic game...as Six says, grab a freebie first: Chain Reaction 3.0 would be a good start...

Ed's Yahoo group is great too for support & conversion files.

No fantasy minis though :( aside from my 10mm ones.

Does it work in 10mm?

Yep - you can use whatever minis you like - you might want to adjust distances: sub cms for inches is probably easiest.
