Victorian Villains Card Game

by

WarpSpawn has created a card game called Victorian Villains, which features such period luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James West, Professor Moriarty, Count Dracula, Rasputin and Jack The Ripper. Its obviously not a miniatures game, but fans of the genre might find it interesting.

Update: To clear up any confusion, there are no pdf files fo the actual cards. Like all of Lloyd’s marvelous games, there is simply a list of cards. You have to make your own set out of playing cards, or old ccg cards. I put stickey labels on playing cards and use them.

Armour Battles is a set of free wargames rules for playing out World War II tank battles. The author writes:

Armour Battles is an introductory set of World War Two wargame rules. Based on the larger Combat HQ rules, Armour Battles is a fully playable game.

Armour Battles features three armoured battles set in Lorraine, France in 1944 as Patton’s 3rd Army advances towards the Rhine. The first battle is a small meeting engagement between US and German tanks. The next battle has the Americans attacking the Germans. This is followed by the Americans attempting to break through the German positions as the Germans counter-attack with a Tiger I platoon.

Armour Battles includes all the rules needed to play these battles.

Note that you will need to surrender an email address for a mailing list to get the rules, but I think you could always unsubscribe later.
