USEME Prohibition Gangsters released in print and digital download

The fifteenth title in the 'Ultra Simple Engine for Miniature Engagements' has arrived at Alternative Armies written by Robert McAlister and Steve Rysemus it is set in the roaring 1920's and 1930's. UM015 Prohibition Gangsters uses a D6 engine it is fast play and well suited to 15mm scale and other scales of miniatures. Lead your gangsters or police or gmen or others in raids and runs! 
 

The USE ME game system. You will need some miniatures, some terrain and a few six sided dice (D6's) to play the game. This is not much and indeed most of the time everything in play needs only 1D6 roll to make a decision. In the game all miniatures and vehicles are de-marked into of CHARACTERS (from Infantry to Vehicles and everything else) and these into TYPES which allow you to create anything you want from this period with a few tables of TYPES with points costs attached. USE ME is a pocket rule system that does not pretend to be anything else. Its fast, its fun. Here are the contents of UM015.
