Original Camp Table Skirmish Rules - page 1

Digging through a shelf, looking for my Creeks and Crawdads, I found a manila folder containing a couple of printed pages that were the original Camp Table Skirmish Rules.  So here they are to be compared & contrasted with the reconstructed version.  Well almost. It's two copies of the first page and there is pretty clearly a second needed, now that I've typed it in.

Sequence of Play

Low Init Moves
Missiles - Both sides fire before removing casualties
Melee - Both sides fight before removing casualties
Morale Tests

Movement

Move figure up to its maximum move ( -3" if ending behind initial 180 degree frontal arc), end facing as desired.
Note: When retreating due to morale failure, you still go full speed.
Move to contact: Enemy must be most direct.

(Hm, that says page 1 at the bottom, there must have been a second page with some discussion of combat and when to test morale.)

I find one unit card in the folder, a Drow force of five figures,of four types, that I'll type in later. It is clear from that force that you pay separately to upgrade melee and ranged attacks on the same figure. To Hit, AOE or not, and number of attacks are recorded for both separately, and there is a range column as well.
