Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra. An all time hot babe.
I’ve concluded that there’s too much text on this site, and not enough pictures. So in honor of Frigga, Norse goddess of femininity, here’s the first in a series of Friday Wargaming babes.
Hammer Wars 1.5 is a set of one page wargames rules that mashes up Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy: What if a 40K troopship crashed on the Warhammer Fantasy World.
Unexploded Cow is a commercial product from Cheapass Games, but you can get a free print and play version at the link. The game has an hysterical premise: that bovines suffering from mad cow disease are being used to solve the problem of unexploded bombs in Europe left over from the wars.
East Street games offers Valhalla, a set of free wargames rules for Dark Age skirmishes. The rules are free for the downloading, or for purchase in print. The website has an online system for generating warbands. Interesting stuff.
Witch Trial is one of Cheapass games most popular products. You can get a print-and-play version of this game at the link.
In Witch Trial, you play an attorney at a prestigious law firm. You will act as a prosecutor or defender in several cases involving unmarried women, free thinkers, vegetarians, the homeless, and other undesirable types. While witchcraft per se isn’t really a crime, it’s customary to bring suspects into court on related offenses, such as card playing, smoking, and tampering with the post.
This game requires lawyer-like reflexes, a little bit of luck, and the willingness to bargain when you know you can’t win.
