Online WW2

"AMVA", A. (2005) RKKA in WWII, Russian Project. (especially good for Orbats and Maps) Available from: http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/index.htm and for trains in particular: http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/galleries/Arm_trains.htm (Accessed on 22^nd November 2007) Thanks to Phil Steele for finding this.

Chadwick, F. (2007) Command Decision - Test of Battle. Available at: http://testofbattle.com/drupal-4.7.4/node[Accessed February 10, 2008].  More detail than NQM,  1 Km ~ 20cm. Excellent, particularly for the "Bathtub Barbarossa" Campaign. I used their Hex Map for my own Eastern Front Campaign.

Horne, C. (2007) Wooden Warriors . Available at: http://woodenwarriors.zoomshare.com/0.html  [Accessed February 10, 2008]. 54mm Plastic Soldiers with Wooden Tanks. Charlie has captured the 1950-60's era Hollywood idea of how WWII was fought perfectly in his outdoor dioramas. He has had a whale of a time doing it too. If I find myself getting too pompous about Wargaming, this site is the perfect cure.

 The Hurrah Brothers' sideways look at wargaming with 'minor nations'. (Accessed on 22^nd November 2007) 

Lowth, K. (2008) Fat Wally's Wargames Website. Available at: http://www.fat-wally.com/index.html [Accessed February 10, 2008]. Features some particularly nice soviet Cavalry.

 Sheil, T. (2007) The Army Men homepage is another site from across The Pond which is at once impressive and comforting if you like to do things your own way without much regard for convention. If you care about uniform details, you won't like it. Here is a quote from its Author, Thor:

"You don't have to read the associated comic books to understand who's on which side with Army men. It's simple - one side is green and the other is another color." [Last Accessed on 25th May 2007]

Shulman, P. (2007)  Peter  Shulman's War is  for wargamers who dream about gaming in the garden with 54mm soldiers, but don't have their own private Wood to do it in. (Thanks to Don Maddox for pointing me towards the site). [Last Accessed on 25th May 2007]

Murphy, T. (2007) Divide by Zero  § is  a page containing some super fonts - I found "Tom's new Roman" there (a different Tom - Tom Murphy), and Tombats. [Last Accessed on 25th May 2007]

 If you want to see tombats on this website in all their glory, you will need to download all of them from Tom's site. They are fun enough to download for their own sake. They are free, and take up little space, just drop Tom an email to say "thanks". If not, you will just see some large numbers on a few pages - it's no big deal. (Thanks to Bob Cordery for spotting that one)

General Wargames Resource Links Q

Wargame Developments, MEGABLITZ, and Mexikanski Megablitz, larger scale than NQM. 1Km ~ 4cm. Less detail but even bigger Ops than NQM. Eat your heart out Uncle Joe! Highly recommended.
