Chinese Takeout Martial Arts Rules
Chinese Takeout is a set of free wargames rules for recreating Hong Kong martial arts movies on the desktop. The authors write:
Chinese Takeout is a game of Martial arts and Sorcery for two or more players. If you happen to have a great knowledge base on all the moves and equipment of the oriental arts then don’t get too excited. My inspiration for Chinese Takeout is very much the Kung-Fu/ Kill Bill/ Crouching Tiger kind of martial arts, where the heroes move almost exactly as if they were on wires suspended from cranes and the job of a henchman has got to be the most depressing career available. Maybe it pays well?
31 full colour pages with simple rules and great subtlety built in. Kids can pick it up in minuites. Adults can spend weeks fine tuning their character and combos.
Warthrone Fantasy Battles Rules
Warthrone is a set of free wargames rules for fighting fantasy battles. You may find it an acceptable (or superior) replacement for Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
Kings of War II
Mantic’s Kings of War, Second Edition is now available as a free download. There are also several free Army Books.
I can’t help but thinking that this game is the successor to Warhammer Fantasy, which Games Workshop has essentially abandoned.
