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.

So I was excited to find Green Blood and Red Blood for Mars, a set of rules for mass combat on Mars in the Victorian Age. Now I’ve got one more excuse to get some of those neat martian figures that are circulating from various companies these days.
