ive just decided to make my own wargame rules! please give me ideas and ill post what i have once its done

maybe create a infantry only minigame, focusing on capturing buildings , i dunno
never done wargaming

Italeri's newer 1/72 scale armor kits come with a wargaming set of rules and a guidebook. You can buy one of their cheaper kits, take a look at their rules, and adapt them to your needs.

thanks for the answers. ill have to order an italeri models next time i order from the website i buy from

You thinking a mini game with an open table where you need to use a rule to measure distance for movement, etc or a board game like Axis and Allies?

Actually I just remember Axis and Allies has mini version as well. Never played it. You may want to check. www.boardgamegeek.com for ideas.

i bought some axis and allies minis a while ago. they werent realy to scale. im making on where you have to measure distance and whatnot

All I can ask is you try to make it a little less rule heavy than Warhammer. With all the editions, etc. sometimes the rules take over the game. Good luck. Infantry would be cool but heavy artillery or MLRS maybe extremely fun IMHO. You would probably need to assume that the middle of the table was a cut and a certain distance laid there. It would be a shoot and move type of thing and you would need a tape measure instead of a ruler.

thanks for the ideas. i dont play warhammer but i hear it has a lot of rules.

Christian,
You might want to look if you can find EARLY heroclix rules. When the game came out it was pretty easy again overtime things got out of hand. My rule is if there is a discrepency in the rules or if it is not covered, the rule is to go with what makes sense or what makes the game most fun. Nothing sux more than a rule lawyer in a game. I experienced one of those a few months ago...he made a 1.5 or 2.0 hour game into a 4.0 game. Bad times.
