Smooth&Rifled is a game system designed to recreate skirmish games with 28, 20 or

15mm miniatures. This very first edition covers the period from approximately 1700 to
approximately 1900. The French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the Napo-
leonic Wars, the American Civil War and the wars of the Colonial era are just some of
the periods you can play with S&R.

In the Appendix you will find all the information that will help you to choose the ideal
format for your games, from simple patrol clashes involving a few men per side to
bigger encounters with 50-60 miniatures per side, ideal for multiplayer games.

The Blue Unit, armed with smoothbore
muskets (20/2), performs a Group fire
versus the Red Unit that is in open or-
der. Figure C is taken as the target.
Models 1 and 2 are at more than 20cm

Blue player decides to fire first with the
5 remaining models.
With a very lucky throw the Blue unit
produces 4 hits, so apart from C three
other figures can be hit. B is the closest
model to C so he will be the second hit,
then A is closest to B (last figure hit so
far) and the next would be G (closest to
A), but G is visible only to 1 and 2 and so
not eligible. Hence the fourth hit is lost.

by the first player that can do the same.

APPENDIX II
BASIC SCENARIOS
SCENARIO 1. THE OBJECTIVE.
Suitable for Small and Medium formats

Preparing the terrain

Players prepare the terrain by follow-
ing the standard procedure, identifying
an element feature in the middle of the
battlefield (for example a crossroad, a
bridge…) or any other features like an
artillery piece, ammunition boxes etc, to
represent the objective.
Deployment
Both players deploy according to the
standard rules but not necessarily on the
opposite side of the battlefield.
Victory conditions
To win this scenario a Player has to rout the opponent’s force. Keeping the objective
gives an additional 20MV points for the Medium format or 10MV points for the Small
format, which will raise the Break Point of the side controlling it.
The objective is controlled if, starting from the 3rd turn, at least one friendly figure is
on it or within 3cm and no enemy figure is at less than 25cm (15cm for 15mm scale).

SCENARIO 2.
THE RESCUE/CAPTURE.
Suitable for Small and Medium formats

Preparing the terrain

Players prepare terrain by following the
standard procedure. After that they place
in the middle of the battlefield a miniatu-
re that must be saved/captured.
Deployment
Both players deploy according to the
standard rules, they must be on the op-
posite sides.
Victory conditions
To win this scenario a Player has to bring
the miniature into his deployment area
(30cm) or rout the opponent’s force. The miniature (that represents a prisoner, a
freed hostage, the colonels mistress, the regimental mascot) can be moved only if a
player has a figure in contact with that miniature and the miniature can take only one
movement phase per turn.

SCENARIO 3. THE AMBUSH.

Suitable for Small and Medium formats

Preparing the terrain

A straight road, crossing the field in the
middle, must be placed at first. Other
terrain features producing cover must be
placed at more than 30cm from the road.
The opposite end of the road from the
ambushed player is marked in red.
Deployment
The Player that controls the ambush can
put his Ambush Markers (6.3.1) on both
sides, within 30cm from the table edge.
The ambushed Player must deploy all his figures, with the exception of those classed
as Scouts, within 30cm from his table edge and not more than 10cm from the centre
of the road. Figures with the special characteristic Scout can be deployed within 45cm
from the table edge and within 30cm from the centre of the road.
Victory conditions
The Player that controls the ambush wins the scenario if he routs the opponent’s
force or doesn’t let any enemy figure exit the battlefield from the red marked area.
Otherwise the ambushed Player wins.

Smooth&Rifled-26
Edwin J Torres (Order #6637130)
 SCENARIO 4. THE ASSAULT.
Suitable for Medium format

Preparing the terrain

A fortified position, put in the middle of
the battlefield, must be placed first. This
position can be represented by a campsi-
te, a small fort or a village. The perimeter
of this feature must not exceed 20% of
the board perimeter, e.g. if you use a
120x120cm table, so a 480cm perime-
ter, the sum of the sides of the position
must not exceed 96cm. After placing this
feature, the Players place all other terrain
features, but those which provide soft cover must be at least 25cm from the fortified
positon and those who provide hard cover at more than 40cm.
For game purposes consider the defensive position as an area that gives hard cover
to all figures inside if shot at from outside. If not otherwise stated by the Players,
all terrain features inside the defensive position are there purely because they look
pretty. The defensive perimeter must be considered a linear obstacle and this linear
obstacle cannot be freely crossed if a defending figure is within 10cm (or 5cm for
15mm) of the intended crossing point. It is possible to cross the obstacle by carrying
the position by winning a melee, or by killing or driving the defenders away through
the use of missile fire.
Army format
The Attacker must field a force calculated on the Medium format, while the Defender
controls a force calculated on the Small format.
Deployment
Defender deploys first with all his figures within the fortified area. The Attacker must
deploy all his miniatures on more than one table edge whilst all of the miniatures,
including those classed as Scout, must be within 30cm of the table edge.
Victory conditions
To win the scenario a Player must rout the
enemy’s force. The Defender benefit of
20MV points for holding the fortification is
reduced by 1 for every attacker that is pre-
sent in the perimeter. Example: if within the
defending area there are 3 enemies and the
Defender have a MV of 16, then the Break
Point is 11 (16+17/3). Also if most of the De-
fender’s miniatures are within the perimeter
a re-roll is allowed for each Morale Test. This
re-roll can be added to the one offered by a
Standard Bearer if present.
