  manowar (wargame) - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Manowar was a war game by Games Workshop.
However, some races had special ships such as the Dark Elves' fl ark. Two boxed expansions were released for the game: Plague Fleet and Sea of Blood.
Extra model ships were sold in small boxes rather than blister packs, which during Manowar's height was how most minatures were packaged.

 RPGnet: Review of Kings of Metal
Manowar is one of the defining acts in the genre of power metal.
The cover of the booklet, which is also the CD cover, is typical for Manowar; an overly muscled man, dressed in ripped leather pants, spikes and chains, stands posing atop a rocky hill, scattered with torn national flags, the Stars and Stripes being the most prominent.
Manowar calls out to several European countries (including my own Denmark), then ends with "the glory of Germany", showing that they haven't fully shed their nazi-inspired roots.

It took a little less than an hour for two competent (presumptuous I know) and generally experienced wargamers to figure out the various bits and pieces and to completely fill out the log sheet for each ship.
It is hard enough to get one other breathing human being to play a wargame as it is. The rules limit players to the number of words that a signal may consist of.
A more interesting approach in my opinion would have been to provide a standard signal table and then allow players to send signals consisting of up to x hoists per game turn with the probability of misinterpretation or delay increasing with each hoist after the first.

 Arachno assassins - Reaper Message Board
Just for the record, I'm an RPG kind of guy first and a "wargamer" second, so to me the fluff and fiction is very important.
I agree that a solid ruleset is necessary (vital, even), but IMO if you're not going to have good fluff then you might as well play chess.
In a wargame though, the stats are very important.

 General Discussion
January 24 2002, 5:52 PM A wargame isn't supposed to be about big monsters bashing each other's brains out, it's supposed to be about masses of troops.
If you were looking for a game about monsters, then I agree with you on that you've been looking in the wrong place, but then, the game's name is "Warmaster", not "Warmonster".
i never played manowar, mybe it was a good game, they had chaos dwarf ships, so it can't have been that bad!
