Besides his much better known activity as a graphic artist, Crepax was a keen wargamer and wargame designer and collector of paper soldiers, drawn by himself. He was the author of some of the first wargames published in Italy to be widely circulated: La Battaglia di Trafalgar (Corriere dei Piccoli, 1964) La Battaglia di Waterloo (Linus, 1965) La Battaglia di Pavia (Linus, 1967) La Battaglia del Lago Ghiacciato - Alexandr Nevsky (Linus 1972, poi ristampato da Milano Libri)
