SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I just heard about "Junior General" which is a set of free wargames intended to teach kids about military history. It looks kind of neat all on its own, but it also has tons of files for printable paper soldiers (and terrain) that you can cut out and use. The pictures are pretty simple but functional, and include everything from Tyrannosaurs to knights, barbed wire, lizard men and elephant grass. Might be a good place for anyone to look if they need some figures for a battle but don't want to shell out for miniatures.

You can find the website at: http://www.juniorgeneral.org/

Edit: I fucked up the thread title. Whoops. Should be "Learning History..." That's how it was pitched over on Metafilter.com, where I heard about this.
