The FREE Net Games Page

This is a section I've wanted to put up for a long time. They say that in the heart of every wargamer lurkes a designer. The amount of absolutely, totally FREE games available on the Net these days seems to bear out that theory nicely. Here are play by email modules for FREE games, with rules included. So you have not excuse not to play except lack of time!

My own free fantasy wargame, Itty Bitty Battles, is part of a group of games "published" via the Microgame Design Contest (under the aegis of the Microgames List on ONELIST). Included in this lot are Glider Pit Gladiators and The Shining, which are included here. Pokke, the creator of gameboxes for Rob Markham's Montcalm and Wolfe and Vae Victis' Champs de Battaile, also created one for an old public domain game called Kriegspiel that is worth a look.
