Help Name This Game

Hi all,

I have been working on a game for a loooong time and it has finally come time to publish it. The game is a mix of an RPG and a Minis game--something along the line of GURPS for wargaming. You can create your own characters similar to an RPG, but the game is primarily played using minis on a gameboard.

A game could just as easily be a group of ghostbusters searching through a haunted house for clues vs. ghosts, spooks and other things that go bump in the night--as it could be a band of evles vs. a band of orcs--last man standing wins.

The game is very flexible and can be used to create any character and/or situation; the game can be played in a head-to-head, group or GM-led fashion; and finally, a game could last 20 minutes or for hours. It all depends on what you wanted to do.

The game is the set of core rules. Other setting/scenario books are in the works for fantasy, modern, super heroes, sci fi, horror, etc.

Here a few working names so far:

Skirmash!
Skirmish Heroes
Skirmish System
Monster Rules
Mod Forces
Hero Assault
Heroic Forces
Heroic Skirmish
Inifiniminis (or Infini-Minis)


The tagline is: A Miniatures Battle and Adventure Game.

If you could pick the 3-4 names that appeal to you most and list them in order of appeal, best to worst, I would appreciate it.

Of course, you can also post any other names you might have.

Thanks.

Yeah, I gotta ditto Skirmash! It's unique enough to stand out from the other nore generic names you have on your list. The '!' is very important, because Skirmash! is about excitement!
 

I like ___ Skirmash!

and then later when you release them...

Fantasy Skirmash!, Super-Skirmash!, Modern-Skirmash!, SciFi-Skirmash!... built in branding.

Since you mention it has RPG elements to it, and you fished for suggestions, how about...

Miniature Encounters
 


That was one of the names I gravitated towards--a combination of skirmish and the sound a powered fist makes as it scrapes across an opponent's armor and then crushes it.

skirMASH!

Any one else?
 

dittoing SkirMASH... with Skir written in a regular font, and MASH! done in a comic-explodey font.

Also: suggesting an alternate tagline here:

"Any setting, any forces, any perspective."

Yeah, with additional releases, like:

Skirmash! Smash! (For really big brutes, or just hand-to-hand)
Skirmash! Surfmash! (Shallow water)
Skirmash! Splash! (Um, deeper water)
Skirmash! Crash! (Vehicles rules)

...I'm going to stop now before things get totally out of hand. :)
 

(Giggle) SkirMASH! Thrash! (For eXtreme combat!)
SkirMASH! Flashbangs and firearms! (For SWAT combat)
SkirMASH! CyberMASH! (The Massively Multiplayer expansion!)
