Looking for suggestions for games that play on 2' x 2' tables. Hope to find some historical ones but any type of wargame is helpful. Thanks. |

DBA and its variations. Any period will work for skirmish gaming. Are you looking for rule suggestions? Some people drop down to smaller scales when gaming on small tables. |

Have look at Bob Corderys Portable Wargame series. Easily found via Google |

I'd look at Howard Whitehouse's Astounding Tales or the "Chaos" series, such as "Chaos in Cairo." Both are "Pulp" and would work with or without SF or fantasy elements from late Victorian to the present. And I'd buy a lot of terrain. Breaking lines of fire would be a major problem. Further back, any sort of "Three Musketeers" set, then medieval tournaments, then Gladiatorial combat. There are also, I believe, some "bar room brawl" sets. |
