You can use any set of rules of play in any genre. I’m currently using Dragonbane RPG for a modern world setting. I see no reason why it doesn’t apply to skirmish.

Many years ago I was reading an issue of Knights of the Dinner Table in which someone asked where a GM got his adventures for Cattlepunk (wild west setting) from as there was little support for the system. His response was (something like) “I just use a fantasy adventure… replace the goblins with bandits and replace the kidnapped princess with the daughter of the town mayor.”

It made perfect sense to me and now I look at adventures, rules and campaigns as inspiration for whatever I’m running, no matter when, or where the original is set.
