Miniature Wargaming

My primary hobby is "miniature wargaming." That is, painting toy soldiers and playing games with them. This page contains:

Gallery: a small collection of my painted figures.
Articles: a few articles I have written about this hobby.
Scenarios: historically-based scenarios for various rule sets.

My collection of wargaming links can be found on my links page.

Gallery

The following shots were taken using a digital camera. The resolution isn't the best, and the flash washed out a lot of the colors. I hope to take clearer pictures of these figures in the future. Please check back soon.
