Welcome

Welcome 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 forté is providing 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) that we think can help you achieve your wargaming objectives. And we hope (again) to help wargamers who stop by to share, trade, and learn.
