The Forge is an electronic wargaming management tool that assists in the creation of army lists for your favorite wargame(s). The point is to make this process quick and easy. I originally created The Forge so that my friends and I could create army lists without having to lookup points, etc. when we wanted to go play a game. It is important to note thought, that The Forge will not replace your gaming material, but insteads adds to it. Therefor you should have a good understanding of the rules before you start assembling an army.
The Forge relies on a data file to supply specific information on any particular wargame. These lists have been made by fellow Forge users and can be found on the internet. You can also use the tools, within The Forge, to create your own data files or edit existing ones. I would like to package tons of data files with the installation program, but
would probably kill me
The Forge is free and I hope to keep it that way! All that said, I hope you enjoy the program.

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.
