Stephan Hess has written Chariotmaster, a set of free wargames rules for playing a fantasy version of Roman chariot racing. What I like about these rules is that they don’t require you to play on a gridded board, like Circus Maximus and other chariot rules sets.

Rorke’s Drift rules
Rorke’s Drift has captured the imagination as one of the greatest stands in history. Thousands of brave Zulu warriors versus a handful of stalwart British soldiers. What’s not to like? The battle is a staple for colonial wargamers. Steve Winter has these free wargames rules for Rorke’s Drift.
Rules Crusade
Rules Crusade is a complete rewrite of the Warhammer 40K, Mordheim and Necromunda wargames rules to use the old Milton Bradley Space Crusade system. Its well done, but I’m not sure why Sean Patten went to all the effort. I’m also not sure why GW’s hordes of lawyers haven’t descended upon him and turned him over to the Inquisitors.
TIERRA Y LIBERTAD rules
Arofan Gregory has posted TIERRA Y LIBERTAD, a set of free fast play wargames rules for the 1910 – 1920 Mexican Revolution.
Two Page Skirmish
There is no shortage of free wargames rules for the Colonial period. A good one is the Two Page Skirmish rules from Steve Winter.
