Sultans of Severnia - Research Central
Welcome to page-3 of the Sultans of Severnia
sub-site. This page serves as a starting point for research into the miniature
wargaming hobby. Included is a table of links to game rules, software,
directories, and general info about miniature wargaming. This is also the place
where the Sultans can publicly share any non-sensitive facts and information
that they've come across during their research. Proprietary design documents
will be made available in the Design Documents
section of this sub-site.
