A couple of cool looking, free, table-top wargames today. Both Science Fiction and both via Freewargamesrules.

Crimson Dusk "a fun and exciting tabletop game, using model soldiers to represent your armies you can clash against your friends to win mastery of the tabletop. Where will you go with your games? To the stars of the galaxy battling on some unknown moon as rival systems settle their differences? To the blasted wastes of a post apocalyptic world where only the strongest survive? To the third world war, where USA invades China and the Arab Union retaliates by invading Europe? Or will you create your own setting, and let your imagination run free? These are some of options left to you by Crimson Dusk."
