Tabletop wargame desk

Mission packets, honest terrain, and sportsmanship—battle games, not RPG campaign notes

Wargame Crate is for people who play miniature battle games: how to write a clear mission, call terrain fairly, and keep events civil. Historical and fantasy tables welcome—orientation only, no invented SKUs or army prices.

Start with Getting Started, skim the Guides hub, or browse Resources when you need outbound references like Wargame Wikipedia.

What this desk is for

Wargame nights stall on fuzzy objectives, dishonest terrain density, and dice arguments that should have been settled in the packet. We write marshal habits for those problems—not RPG campaign bibles.

Prefer encyclopedia and community hubs when you need lineage. Start with Wargame Wikipedia, Miniature wargaming, and Terrain; publisher pages like Warhammer Community are navigational.

If a secondary scoring loop turns every turn into a spreadsheet fight, simplify. Fairness and clock honesty beat sacred FAQ piles.

Guides, Glossary, and Resources go deeper. Miniature and board crates nearby when your event mixes painting desks or multiplayer board nights—this desk stays on battle-game craft.

Mission-sized prep

Objectives, deployment, and one terrain honesty note—enough for a single matched or narrative game.

Table vocabulary

Open the glossary when mission packet, terrain density, or list submission stalls a new player.

Event doors

Norms and starting doors on the community page.

How we write

Write after-action notes. A guest TO should inherit the packet template, not a vibe.
