Simple Skirmish is an interface that offers step-by-step guidance to setting up a Singleplayer game. New installs will get the new simplified mode when the Skirmish button is clicked, existing installs can opt-in via the “Simplified Skirmish” lobby setting. It was originally developed for Zero-K and has now been adapted for BAR with the addition of different maplists for each game mode.

The objective is to make setting up a game with good configurations easier to those new to the game who could be overwhelmed by the many choices of the standard battle panel. The interface currently offers 5 game modes, 3 difficulty settings, and 16 maps as potential choices:
