Publishing "Army Men: The Wargame"

I have just published - in pdf form - rules for wargaming with the little plastic Army Men we all played with as kids.

I've had a good time playtesting these rules both with my gaming group (all adults) and with my kids (age 10 and 12). Everybody seems to have a good time with this game.

The title of this game is "Army Men: The Wargame."

The rules handle the stances (prone, kneeling, standing, and running), and weapons of each figure. There are special rules for bazookas, minesweepers, paratroopers, and vehicles like tanks, jeeps, humvees, and troop transports. Other rules handle foxholes and other cover. Leaders inspire the soldiers and can serve as medics.

At 12 pages, the rules are simple enough that a smart 10-year-old will enjoy the game. But the game is complex enough to keep the adults interested too.

The game will be sold on eBay and at other Internet sites that sell game pdf's.

Hat tip to my playtesters - The Westover Gamers, and to Timothy, Matthew, and Thomas at home.
