Introduction
Introduction
Micro Melee is a micro armor conversion of the Final Combat skirmish system. It lifts
the system mechanics from squad to battalion sized engagements for 6-millimeter
miniatures. Where the original rules introduced detail on an individual soldier's level,
Micro Melee will handle movement, acquisition, combat and leadership from the
perspective of the platoon. Command is assigned to Lieutenants, Captains and Majors
within HQ units. Much of the detail from the skirmish system has been incorporated
abstractly. Hand grenades are reflected in a greater fire power factor at point blank range
and the damage model now addresses multiple casualties instead of tracking individual
hit locations.
The basis for these infantry rules is the platoon; the smallest component of which is a
squad. Each nationality will assemble a unique order of battle. A Table of Organization
& Equipment will be helpful as you build your forces. Ten to twelve-man squads
(depending upon the nationality) should be tracked with the forms provided in Appendix
B. Regardless of the actual number of figures you choose to glue on a base, each one
should represent a single squad or support unit. Those should then be grouped into
platoons, companies and battalions.

This work is intended as a free download for those customers who already have Final
Combat and The Expansion. Without those books which contain the actual skirmish
system, this conversion is not meaningful.
If you enjoyed Final Combat, you won’t want to miss Micro Melee. The detail of
armored combat during the Second World War is at your finger tips, but on a much larger
scale. You can command an entire battalion of infantry and armor as you recreate the
great battles of North Africa, Western Europe and the Russian steppe.
