Game Support

Game variants, scenarios, and notes for games that I'm interested in. Some are hosted here, and some are just links to other places.

I host several game-related mailing lists here on TheWargamer.com. Just click on the link to send an email to subscribe. These are:

• PanzerGrenadier : for Avalanche Press' PanzerGrenadier game
• Advanced Tobruk System : or Tactical(!). The Critical Hit system.

If you want another mailing list, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Please only download one file at a time. My bandwidth is limited and paid for by my company, so we shouldn't be hogging it up with my little web server, now should we?-)

• American Rails (1.7mb) : An expansion for the classic AH game, Rail Baron, by Tom Cundiff (tdcgunslinger at worldnet.att.net). Here's what he says about it:

  I've just completed a new article for Panzerschreck] on the AH game "Rail Baron". I've expanded the board to Canada and Mexico and added 2 Canadian railroads and about 7 Mexican ones. I've also added one additional US railroad which has become prominent in the last 15 years (The Kansas City Southern) which originally was a small local road tying Kansas City to Houston. In the last few years it acquired some of the track of the old GM&O (which IS in the game), purchased half of the 2nd largest Mexican railroad, and concluded a "merger" of sorts with the Canadian Pacific, creating a railroad system that runs the length and width of Canada and reaches to the Gulf Coast and Mexico City. I also created new deed cards for these new railroads and pay off sheets have been added for this expansion.
