Wargaming is an expensive hobby. Miniature armies can cost a lot of money and, as all wargamers know, one is simply not enough. Board games are expensive too and computer software is not exactly cheap either - let alone the powerful systems you also need to buy in order to actually run the high-spec games.
It is thus nice to see systems such as Filpit Paper Combat that has a range of paper miniatures available for download. Even the rules are free.
All you need to do is print out the templates, apply a little glue and you are ready to start your quest for conquest and victory. This is a great way to get new people involved in the hobby, without having them handle your precious and painstakingly painted miniature collections.
The rules are simple, using flipped coins (hence the system's name)and there are a variety of different troops and abilities that give a nice feel to the game. The armies seem loosely based on World War Two equivalents, but the fighting actually takes place in a land called Flipworld.
This is a great system to try and and play with a few friends, or to use to introduce some new recruits into the world of wargaming and allow them to grasp the basics of troop types.
