Miniatures Rules

Warbots Robot Combat Game

by

JP Trostle offers Warbots:

WARBOTS is a game for 2-6 players using the Z-bot toys from Micromachines (or any other cartoonish robot figures). It was originally inspired by the old Metagaming MicroGame “Rivets” by Robert Taylor.

IN THE NOT-SO-FAR FUTURE…. Man built the Warbots to fight his battles for him, but eventually the machines turned on their masters and wiped them out. However, computer-controlled factories continue to manufacture the killer ‘bots and send them out to be tested. Every afternoon at the Disneysoft military/industrial/ entertainment complex, the latest line from the company’s Warbot™ Urban Peace Squad (WUPS) roll out for another demo, with two teams facing off against one another.

Empires At Sea Ancient Naval Rules

by

Empires At Sea is a hex-based naval war game for ancients. The author writes:

This set of naval warfare rules is designed for ancient sea battles from the 5th to 2nd Century BCE.

The goal was to keep play fast, simple and with no more than one page of charts. Play-testing has given us a good deal of fun and enjoyment. I hope that each of you will will enjoy it much as we did. Feedback is always welcome, and we know as with all games, it is not perfect but it should suit most peoples needs.

Brytenwalda Age of Arthur – Saxon Invasion Rules

by

Brytenwalda is a new set of very professsionally done free wargames rules for battles in the Dark Ages – Age of Arthur – Saxon Invasion period. It’s a neat set, but what I really like is the attitude of the authors:

Brytenwalda is an open set for mature gamers.

It is open because, as Creative Commons licensed project, you’ll be free to adapt the game in any way you feel more confortable with. There is no written in stone rules, you can change whatever you want. You can even set this rules into another time: in Brytenwalda you’ll find the rules to create your own warriors or whole warbands so, why not playing in the times of Rome, the Crusades or in a fantasy world?

It is for mature gamers because it is not focused in competitive manners nor thought as game for tournaments. This is just for fun… and fun is what a game should be.
