Ed Walker has written a set of free wargames rules called Tabletop Titans. He writes:
BAM – POW – KAZOWEE. These are the sounds of super heros in action. Who could forget the wild brawls we all envisioned while reading our favorite super hero comics?

Designed to be played on any tabletop or with one of the many types of terrain systems on the market Tabletop Heros provides all the rules necessary to create a unique super hero and pit it in combat against other superpowered beings.

Turn Or Burn Spaceship Rules
Interformic Games offers a free miniatures game called Turn or Burn. The authors write:
Turn or Burn is a fast-paced game of space fighter combat for 2 to 8 players. To start a game, you design your fighter from a deck of system cards. Each turn you play a system or maneuver card facedown to plot the action your fighter will take. The game uses vector movement, so you must plan ahead! When everyone has plotted, all players reveal their actions simultaneously. Fighters move, guns fire, stuff explodes, and it’s on to the next turn.
There also are several modules for more detail.
28 Mag – Warhammer Modeling Fanzine
28 Mag is a neat electronic fanzine focusing on Warhammer / Games Workshop modeling and art. I really enjoyed looking at the first two issues.
18th Century German States Painting Guides
There are some nice color plates on this site showing the uniforms of the German states in the 1700s. I don’t know German, but by looking at the plates, I think that they’re all from the Seven Years War. The first page is definitely Frederick the Great and his generals. Someone with more epertise in either the period or in German will have to provide more detail.
