Men in Metal is a restatement of the Wargames Research Group miniature wargaming rules from 1969 - 1970 (plus their Medieval Supplement). Men in Metal is available on WargameVault, DriveThruRPG, and Amazon.
The catalog of things that I have published, am in the process of getting polished or playtested, and my social media usage around Men in Metal is considerable. If any of you have any feedback, please leave a review, join the community and post, or hop on my discord. I am likely to publish army lists soon based on the WRG version 6 sets for the dark ages / medieval period. Click here for a flip through of this book of army lists.

Play Testing and Play Throughs are available on both YouTube and Rumble. This describes the development of the new CRT for version 2 so the casualties produced are in line with Gygax and Perren’s CHAINMAIL miniatures game that proceeded Dungeons & Dragons.
