<div class="lore_text">Often these battles began with skirmishing forces up-front fighting with each other before the heavier infantry was engaged. Usually these preliminaries aren't a great fit for the scale and emphasis of this system. <p>If you feel like their absence in the other scenarios is a deal-breaker, use this optional rule: roll a die. If it's a 1-3, your skirmishers beat the other side's, and if it's 4-6, theirs beat yours. This does not constitute routing and no morale cubes change hands.</div>
