Five Kilometers From Leipzig

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Five Kilometers From Leipzig is a set of solo miniatures rules for black powder skirmish actions.

Take a band of 8 trusted companions and slug it out with enemy military forces, guerrillas or native warbands. Suitable for the era from roughly 1700 to 1870, the rules allow you to play a campaign easily and quickly.

Your characters will learn new skills, provided they survive the battle. 

The rules use a simple and straight forward combat system, combined with the solo oriented turn sequence you know from Five Parsecs From Home and Five Leagues From the Borderlands.

Each turn, all of your characters get to act but the initiative roll determines who goes before or after the enemy moves, with the player assigning initiative dice as the situation demands.

Solo rules are built into the game engine. 

The game is played with 8 figures in your "squad" initially, meaning you can get started on skirmish gaming without having to paint a mountain of figures. 

The rules are actively being developed in order to expand them into a fully featured rules set. It is fully playable at the moment and new updates will be forthcoming regularly.

Version 007 adds "Follow On" missions allowing a mission to trigger a different mission with its own objectives.

After a trillion years, I am back at it, so version 006 just went up. This expands the Notable Incidents table to 10 entries, adds a Battle Conditions table and makes the Brawling section a bit better.

Just purchased a copy to play with the small collection of Jacobites and English I have... plus a Highland cow with a sword. May have to borrow from Five Leagues to get stats for that one though...

Thanks! The cow may need the odd house rule :)

This is super cool! Can’t wait for more content. Hopefully this morphed into a full fledged game.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
