Trading Card Maker
Software
Big Huge Labs has an online utility for creating trading cards of the Magic: The Gathering sort. But I’m sure resourceful miniatures gamers can find a more serious use for it.

DBM Computer Combat Simulator
Software
The DBM Combat Simulator is a software program written by Steve Burt. He says that it
simulates a series of complete combats between lines of elements. It is mainly for use in testing out rules changes, but it also gives useful information on how well elements fight. It models shooting, movement (of groups and elements), combat (including all overlaps, grading factors, psiloi support, generals, supporting ranks and so on), running each combat over a large number of iterations (1000 by default).
The simulator will run in the command window of any Windows 95/98/NT machine with an Intel processor. The ZIP file also contains full instructions and example config files.

WinWar II
Software
Silicon Commander Games offers a computer-based World War II game called WinWar. Version 4.0 is shareware, but if you scroll down the page, you will find that version 3.0 has been released as freeware. The game reminds me of Axis and Allies, or Third Reich.

Strategic Map Simulator
Software
The Strategic Map Simulator is
a utility for playing board games over long distances. It is built primarily with PBEM (play-by-email) games in mind, but can be used to facilitate games played in the same room or by mailing the .SMS data file back and forth snailmail.
I think it would also be useful for managing those campaigns that all miniature wargamers love to start but never seem to be able to keep track of and finish.
