‘And Was Jerusalem Builded Here?’ British Civil War 1938 Rules

Empress Miniatures offers ‘And Was Jerusalem Builded Here?’ British Civil War 1938, a set of free wargames rules for playing out the fictional 1938 conflict. From the author:

The following rules are written specifically with the imaginary British Civil War of the 1930’s in mind. They are designed in what nowadays is often called a retro style and pay homage to the style of rules written by such wargaming legends as Charles Grant and Don Featherstone. These rules are designed to give a fun game and so the retro style has had added a very large measure of tongue in cheek humour and period based mischief which hopefully, you are the judge, adds to style of this fantasy period. As such they are seen as being able to be added to by the player. One of the really exciting parts of this period is the way the players imagination can run wild. Therefore many of the sections that follows are guides rather than hard and fast rules. For example unit organisations are pretty fluid and can be tinkered with to suit the players wishes or a specific scenario.

Schwerpunkt Rules for Warfare in the Age of the Rifle

Schwerpunkt is a set of free wargames rules for conflicts from the late 19th through the 20th centuries.. The author writes:

Schwerpunkt is a set of rules I designed myself before I bought CLA.  Basically I asked myself what I wanted in a wargame and came up with the following criteria:
1) It had to be fast Playing
2) It should be capable of producing historical results
3) It had to be fun
With this in mind, I set about using all the rulesets I have ever played or read to come up with what I liked and didn’t like.
