Over on the Ral Partha forums, “SonofThor” posted about an older rule set formerly published by Iron Wind Metals called “Iron Winds of War”.
I am always a sucker for quick and dirty rules and my curiosity got the better of me so…
A bit of Google searching later and I managed to snag a copy of these old rules. At 3 pages, they are very abstract!

The rules are an extremely simplified version of Chaos Wars, for sure. The game is broken up into turns consisting of 5 “events”:
- Personal challenges by leaders
- Missile fire
- Move
- Melee
- Morale
N.B. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t point out the Quick Reference Guide that Ral Partha has been using for the past two years at their convention games and demos. It is a very packed-full 4 sheet summary of the republished Chaos Wars. This also is an excellent quick-start guide or convention game guide.
