Irrational Number Line Games, LLCfree-stuff stuff-to-buy about-us home contactWelcomeWelcome to Irrational Number Line Games' little home on the web! We hope to become a comfortable stop in the eternal journey for that perfect wargaming experience. Tutorials, examples, and templates abound on the Internet, many with lots of tips for high end details. Our main effort is providing examples, ideas, and suggestions for the regular wargamer. Nothing wrong with high end stuff. We love it and we buy tons of it. But there's also nothing wrong with finding ways to do good, solid work without investing every spare hour in detailomania. Our forté is simple, cheap, yet (surprisingly?) robust aids for wargaming. Tools, games, scenarios, swag, advice, examples, experience, philosophical musings, resources, hints, tips, miscelanea. We will both provide our own (some for free, some for sale) and point you to others' (some for sale, some for free). And we hope (again) to help wargamers who stop by to share, trade, and learn. News

06 MAY 12 : So ... who fights the brutes from last week? The Marines, of course! Since my Defiance Games marines came in the mail this week, I am preempting the scheduled conversions 'n' such (not that I ever published a sked) to show off some scifi marine conversions done with those figs.
28 APR 12 : Brutes with guns are a staple figure for sci-fi, but they can be brutish on your wallet, too. This conversion idea for sci-fi brutes starts with some cheaper, generic 1:48 sci-fi figures and turns them into towering monsters with guns for 28mm.
21 APR 12 : Everyone has awesome scf-fi combat troops. That's what sci fi gaming is about. But a real army runs on logistics, and a key part of that is the "yellow gear" guys - construction and utilities. Here's a couple of examples for adding this critical element to your forces.
13 APR 12 : Another one rides the bus as we provide a review and conversion ideas for some cheap die cast busses for use with 28mm.
07 APR 12 : Well, movies rise and fall in popularity. But every once in a while, one swoops in with a big toy line push and finds out that everyone who wants a Green Lantern doll ... er .. action figure already has one. So the smart (by which I mean cheap) guy swoops in for action figure conversions!
