This is a great set of miniature skirmish rules. The basic rules take only six pages and have enough for a "beer and pretzels" experience. I love how the three-phase turn structure allows things like overwatch or reaction fire without complication. After you learn the basic rules, there are 15 pages of optional rules to add more detail to the combat (wounds, vehicles, explosives, troop quality... the list goes on.) While I don't think this would support tournament/competitive play, it is very effective for friendly games, and as a first game for newcomers to miniature gaming.
The product comes with two PDFs: a single column version with figures and a two-column, text-only version that cuts the page count in half. Both are black and white.
