Napoleon At Waterloo Free Wargame
Gamers (like me) of a certain age will remember the old James Dunnigan game Napoleon At Waterloo. It’s a small, but interesting board game that was given away to S&T subscribers, and also by many game stores — I got mine for free on a “games day.”
You can now download this classic for free. Maybe it can be used to introduce a new generation to the joys of chit and hex games.

Trees From Nails
Armored Ink Blog has an article about making cheap trees from nails.
Be careful. A wargaming pal of mine did this and at one point, lost his balance, tried to catch himself and put his hand right down on one of his trees. Drove the nail right through his palm.
Ouch.
