FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what this site is—and is not.
Is Wargame Crate a subscription box storefront?
No. It is an orientation desk about miniature wargaming—missions, terrain, and sportsmanship. We do not list fake prices or inventory.
Where should a brand-new player begin?
Read Getting Started, skim the glossary, then play one clear mission with honest terrain. Public primers like Wargame Wikipedia help with lineage.
Do you host actual-play video?
Not on this domain. We point to community and publisher channels from the Resources and Community pages.
Can I reuse these articles?
Quote briefly with attribution and a link back. For wholesale reuse, email [email protected].
How do you pick outbound links?
We favor encyclopedias, official publisher pages, and established hobby blogs such as BoardGameGeek.
Is this affiliated with the trademark holders of every game mentioned?
Mentions are descriptive for orientation. Check each publisher's licensing pages before publishing your own commercial work.
Wargame Crate writes in a scenario marshal register: concrete procedures first, lore tourism second, and zero invented prices.
If a phase adds twenty minutes and nobody likes it, house-rule or shelf it for the night. Fairness beats sacred errata mid-game.
For one game: clear primary, two secondaries, honest terrain density, and a soft time-cap.
Guides when mission writing is thin; Glossary when jargon stalls; Resources for outbound reading. Then deploy.
Whether you referee weekly or rotate the chair, tabletop wargaming craft benefits from a common language. We write for that shared middle ground between lore deep-dives and rules minutiae.
