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.
Hmmm- I tried downloading and get an error in the pdf file. When I checked the location, I found a text-file containg the message that the file was being worked on…

Did anyone get the file before it disappeared?

I dug down into the file structure of the original hosting site and found this txt file:
“The unofficial translation is currently being reworked so as to be semi-officialiazed by Asmodee.
If you have any question or suggestion about the translation, please feel free to contact me at mtherez2 at yahoo dot com”

Yup- me too, and he’s not replied to my message yet. As my French is worse than cr*p (see, TMP’s rubbed off on me), I can’t really see a point to downloading the French version, and a machine translation is worse than useless unless you already know the rules. The background seems like something I’d be interested in, which is why I was hoping to get a copy of the English version- it seems that the Asmodee Editions official English version may still be a while down the pipeline.
