Don't forget this one. I printed it up LARGE and it's a pretty fun and tense game, even if the abstract air rules take a bit to wrap you're head around (and the typos in the rules don't help). Still, well worth checking out. The Americans always feel outnumbered, and the reinforcements always make it to the fray JUST in the nick of time...

I definitely consider this one a wargame, even though it also has economic/resource management, bidding, and other systems. And lord knows I'm always trying to get people to download it!

This game is now available at http://islandhosting.com/~ltmurnau/lilwars.htm#freegame.
It's protesters against police in a game inspired by the anti-WTO unrest during their 1999 meeting in Seattle. The protesters range from anarchists to organized labor, while the civil authorities range from the Seattle P.D. to the National Guard. There's all the regular grasping for real estate and struggle for power, but you also have to deal with the media: too much looting or hippie-bashing can cause too much unwanted exposure.

This one is very interesting, it holds some similarities with Battle For Moscow, like the scale of the map and the no-stacking rule. The most interesting thing about it is that it's part of a book about designing wargames

From the rules:
"The game is played using a board, counters, cards, matches, paper and dice readily available in most households. The board is simple ordnance survey map (1:250 000 scale), counters are coins, the cards are a number of standard 54 pack playing cards (with two jokers), and four standard 6-sided dice are required.
The aim for each player is to conquer their opponents before they can reciprocate. Each player starts by placing a base in one village, town or city on the map, then take turns to spread their armies to other settlements, spreading in influence, and attempting to win opponents' settlements for themselves.
Players use the playing cards to place new units and strengthen military strongholds, and to aid their expansion in the game."

Here is some additional 'Addendum' for this:
This on's in the attic too! Turn based combat allows you to slaughter your opponent's with ease.
"Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!"
