I'll go first: Congo: Adventures in the Heart of Africa. This was a rule set put out by Studio Tomahawk, the same company that created the much more popular Saga rules. It's a skirmish style game with maybe forty 28mm models per side, played on a 3x3 foot map. I love Congo because it is an underrepresented time period (late 19th Century) in a very underrepresented location. The rule set is super fun and the book itself is fantastic, with all kinds of adventure style rules and objectives in the a game. Terrain also plays a major role in each skirmish. Sadly, it never really caught on and the rule book is somewhat hard to find.

So, what wargame do you like that never really caught on?

I'm mainly building terrain and 6mm tanks. I'm finding superglue is completely excessive (and expensive) for glueing tanks and buildings to bases. What are some good, and preferably cheaper, alternatives? Preferably not too thick so I can also use it for turrets. It certainly does not need to hold as strongly as superglue

Hey gang! I've been getting back into painting minis and learning new game systems again, and I've felt the urge to paint up a ton of planes or spaceships and learn an aerial dogfighting game! And while I know games like X-Wing and Wings of Glory are the most popular and probably fit what I'm looking for gameplay-wise...the fact that the minis are prepainted is a bit of a disappointment for what I'm specifically excited about. I wanna paint my little ships, yanno? And I worry that re-painting already pre-painted minis might lead to either bad results or confusion on the tabletop.

So - are there fun fighter-based dogfighting games that DON'T do pre-painted minis that you guys recommend? I'm cool with sci-fi or historical (or fantasy if there is such a thing) and if they have a solo mode that would be nice but it's not a requirement. Thank you for your expertise!

Hi all, does anybody know of a fantasy style war game and minis for the above?

Hello, I recently got the soviet army starter kit and am building the units following the list (in the comments) from Chicago dice and I’m confused over sizes. How many men are the anti tank and sniper teams? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can download the sword and spear army lists? Or could someone possibly email them to me?

Every link I’ve found online no longer works.

Thanks !

I'm not asking because of the new edition, or some problem with GW, in fact i still plan to play warhammer from time to time, im just curious about similar wargames because A. The grimdarkness gets a little stale after so many years, and B. I want to explore new mechanics, settings, and mostly factions.

Some of the key points im looking for are

Large scale battles (skirmish games are great but i can find them aplenty, so id at least like something that can be scaled up to be large scale)

Fleshed out factions or groups (dont even necessarily have to have separate rules, could just be for flavor and lore)

A lot of list building (i was never particularly good at it but building a list to me was just as fun as playing or painting)

And preferably something fantasy, sci-fi, pulp fiction etc opposed to real world millitary games (nothing against them, just not my cup of tea)

I’ve posted about this before and I thought it wasn’t an issue but it really is. I’ve got 3 game mats from deep cut studios and they have a head ache causing smell even after months of purchase. I’m looking at other alternatives, preferably in the EU. Wondering if’s just a manufacturer or material issue. (Obviously I’m sensitive to the smell or something) Cheers

Played a modified version of Space Weirdos with my kids. They controlled a leader character and side kick each and I controlled all the baddies. They had a lot of fun blasting Daleks, Cybermen, and Tyranids.

Any suggestions for something like this?

Any games where my friends just choose the coolest looking miniatures I have without worrying about cost but staying balanced?

LOVE the game, but has anyone developed a way to shorten the game.

This game can take 3-5 or more hours to play. Looking for ideas on a 1-2 hour game

I'm looking into trying WaT but want to use bigger tanks around the 1/35 scale range. What table size would you advise?

Note: I don't have the rule book yet. Just doing some startup research

I'm currently putting together a dream project of mine: A simulated honest-to-god true-to-fiction Battle Royale. It'll work via Discord with a Play-by-Post system.

I've already figured out most of the logistics and I'll be using TTRPG mechanics for most of the game, but one major issue is still present: I can't figure out the combat.

TTRPGs are pretty terrible when it comes to PVP mechanics, so I'm calling upon this sub to help me. I need a wargame wherein each player only controls one model, AND said model is customizable like an RPG character. Any setting or genre is fine.

Grid-based combat would be ideal, and it'd be good if I could find some people who wanted to play.

Bonus points if I can tie to an existing TTRPG.

I tried getting into Crossfire and Battle Group, and I think it's the 15mm scale that is bothering me. Everything is just... so... small, and I know a lot of people love it because it gets closer to true scale, and I know some people even like playing at 6mm for pretty much the most accurate scale, but I'm wondering if there are any other games besides Chain of Command and Bolt Action that is WW2 game and plays at 28mm scale?

Thank you so much everyone and have a great weekend!

Lekker spelen in je moerstaal.

Is it possible to purchase only the ship data cards and not the models?

Specifically I don't like the base the models are on and I've found models on eBay and Etsy I like better.
