Mike Adams has written a set of rules for wargaming the naval end of the Russo Japanese War. He writes:
The rules are based on “De Bellis Navalis” by Colin Standish, published in Wargames Illustrated #143 August 1999. “De Bellis Navalis” were themselves based on “De Bellis Antiquitatis” Ancients rules, published by Wargames Research Group. I have made quite a lot of changes to the rules as published in Wargames Illustrated, so they are in effect a new set. However, credit and thanks goes to Colin for the original idea.
Mike also has a nice set of ship counters for the war for you to download, print, cut out and play with.

Paper Terrain has a very nice sample of one of the buildings from their 15mm World War II line. Of course it also could be used for any number of European conflicts.

Here’s a paper model of a medieval watchtower in 1:140 scale. The site is in German and the babelfish that I used wasn’t very good in translating it, so I can’t tell you much more. 1:140 scale is probably not good for most miniature wargames, but you could easily scale them up when you print.

John McEwan of Reverisco offers a free paper model of a lugger rigged fishing boat. It’s the kind that you might find crusing the Nile, or even the Ganges. It would be incredibly useful for a wide variety of 28mm games.

This site has a nice selection of paper miniatures for both the new Star Wars movies, as well as the classic trilogy. They would be great for using with West End’s old Star Wars miniatures game.

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
