>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre. Let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet & Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Full Spectrum Dominance,
Gaslands, HeroClix, Kings of War, Lords & Legends,
Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam,
SAGA, Sahipkıran, Sludge, Space Weirdos, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sword Weirdos,
Urban War, Void Admiral, Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

>Examples of companies providing rules and/or miniatures for alternative wargames.
Archon Studio, Atomic Mass Games, Black Site Studios, CMON, Goblin King Games, Lucid Eye, Mantic,
North Star Military Figures, OnePageRules, Osprey, Para Bellum, Seb Games, Spellcrow, TTCombat,
Victrix, Wargames Atlantic, Warlord Games...
...and many other publishers.

>Places to get minis; Updates to the minis list are welcome.

After a few years, gathered up to repaint the hurricane, the first step is to get rid of the old painted cake.

Any asoiaf book fans here? Going to paint these up for asoiaf but I can't really decide who to paint them as. Blackfyres, Robert's rebellion Targ loyalists or Stannis' host for Blackwater bay. Any suggestions?

Dunno man. Maybe one for every faction ?

>What was the hussite war
Its like proto-protestant war. Huss was the name of the priest that started it.
>and what is a bohemian knight?
A knight from Bohemia which is just another way to say Czech.

Doesn't SAGA have pagan magic and shit?
>>
>>98833108
It has a fantasy supplement that adds dwarves and elves and stuff.

>(((Skirmish))) Game
>Command abilities
>Very little crunch
>Factions are a cartoon of real life counterparts
SAGA is fantasyslop wearing the clothes of a real historical wargame. Perhaps if you're a nogames who's only played Age of Empires or somesuch garbage it could pass as historical, but to any serious Wargamer the idea is, frankly, risible.

>>My historical war games require a tenured published professor to sign off on historicity after each three hour round, or as we call it, "tercium bullshitus"

Troonbrained take.

Okay fine.
Mostly doing garden teardown and prep but have acquired surreal terrain and am revisiting an old idea of being way too artsy.

BASED rejection of the hostile takeover from history chuds.
They can keep boring history and memorizing dates. We will keep our fairies and unicorns and magical spells like chads

>>98833907
This. History is full of racism and hatred and plays into the white power fantasy and it's "fans" have no place in our hobby.
