Free wargames scenarios

[wargamesbob]

Here are a couple of good wargames scenario pages for some of the more popular rule sets. All can probably be converted to your own needs and rules with a little work. I will add to this topic as I find new sources.

Very nice wargamesbob - thanks for these 

[wargamesbob]

Here’s another 130+ downloadable scenarios mainly covering Napoleonic and WW2 battles, but with a smattering of the more exotic. I’ve tried all of links listed on these pages  and in the main they all connect. I apologise for not having link checked the two Fire and Fury scenario  pages that I listed previously, everything was in place ten years ago when I first downloaded from them! I shall try to locate these missing links and post them to this topic thread when I find them again.

Excellent links thanks

[wargamesbob]

Another batch of two hundred free scenarios. All links have been checked and are sound. Two of the sites are more awkward than in previous posts. One takes the form of a blog but does contain oobs and sufficient detail to construct working scenarios. The other is a flash site and I cannot work out how to download these files - perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can throw some light on this problem. The rest are OK though being a mix of web pages and pdf files.

23 scenarios for the Panzer 8 series two page wargames rules which are  available as a free download on this site. These scenarios together with three ww2 naval scenarios, and can be found by clicking on the “WW2" category. Seven modern and two  modern aircraft are in the “modern” category, All of these scenarios are  in blog format so you will need to cut and paste the necessary information and determine the terrain map from the photos. Additionally ten WW1 scenarios are downloadable in a single zip file on the homepage.
http://panzer8.weebly.com/rules.html

23 scenarios from Simon MacDowall’s wargames page “Legio wargames”. 14 ancient, 2 medieval, 5 eighteenth century and 2ACW.   These are flash files and cannot be downloaded - well maybe they can, I’m just not sure how to do it! Plenty of other interesting articles on this site too.
