BattleLore--which is overlooked because of the fantasy elements, but they're easily sliced out. |

Hi Another poll, where here on TMP we often discuss Art of war, such that Rich sometimes makes jokes…but still doesn't make the poll? Rocky |
| brevior est vita | 13 Oct 2009 12:38 p.m. PST |
The Art of War (title as printed on the cover) is indeed on the list, right above
The Rules According to Ral While compiling the lists, I did consider the problem of rules titles beginning with definite articles. After trying out various possibilities, I finally opted to include "De Bellis" rules in the D's, "l'Art de la Guerre" in the L's, and rules beginning with "The" in the T's. Not an ideal solution, perhaps, but at least it is internally consistent.  Cheers,
Scott |
| Daffy Doug | 13 Oct 2009 2:15 p.m. PST |
If Rocky votes on this suggested followup poll, "THE Art of War" will get TWO votes instead of one." :) |

Do you mean Cry Havoc by Standard Game (1981)? |

Newbury Fast Play Medieval and Renaissance. I thought they where ok. |

Do you mean Cry Havoc by Standard Game (1981)? Now there was a proper game. |

Do you mean Cry Havoc by Standard Game (1981)? It was suggested as an addition to the list. Although essentially a board game, like C&C: Ancients, apparently CH is also sometimes played using miniatures. Cheers,

The full title for the original version of Tony Bath's rules is "Peltast and Pila: Rules for Ancient Wargaming 300 B.C. to 500 A.D." I have added it to the proposed ancients poll, but unless the new publication has been expanded to include the medieval period, it would not appear to fit in this one. An updated list for this poll would include: A Fistfull of Miniatures
