Fantasy Warriors rules

I own a copy of the original Grenadier Fantasy Warriors boxed set. In fact, all the dwarf and orc miniatures that came with it are still unpainted and on their sprues. (I already had hordes of Games Workshop orc and dwarves and simply played with those).

The game had a lot to recommend it: the figures were great, they were a good bargain, and the rules were a marked departure from Games Workshop. What we liked most about the rules was the emphasis on command, rather than on individual super figures. Sadly, however, it’s been out of print for many years.

Now you can get the original rules as a download here. As for the figures, I understand that there is an italian company that produces them, but I’ve had no success in finding them.

Trash Tokyo Rules

The Trash Tokyo rules from WilsonClan is designed to be a miniatures wargame for people not into miniatures wargames. I have a collection of Godzilla toys, and think I may try these out.

Indian War Rules

Fred Diamond has a simple set of free wargames rules for playing the Indian Wars in the America of the late 19th century.

Fallout Miniatures Rules

Fallout is a legendary computer role playing game. Set in a post nuclear world, it has a 1950s science fiction aura. Here’s a miniatures game set in that world.

Aeronef Logs

Similar in spirit to the late, lamented Space:1889 cloudships rules, Aeronef is about Victorian era armored flying gunships. There are some outstanding ships’ logs for the game here.
