"What miniatures game do you play the most?" Topic

For me, it's Flames of War. We play it every other Sunday, chez moi.

Five years ago, if you had told me this, I would have laughed in your face. For one thing, I had taken a solemn vow many years ago to never paint Germans or Russians. (I own a Soviet "army" that takes up 3 bulging Sterilite 3-drawer chests, and have painted many Germans for friends). I disliked WW2 rules and games in general. I also much prefer 25/28mm figures to 15mm.
Go figure.

I love big games with lots of figures on the table, so the ruleset I play the most is…. Savage Worlds (for those not in the know a skirmish set).

As John said, go figure.

Necromunda is typically what I play.

For me it is Black Powder these days, but it used to be WH40K and before that warmaster and then back to 40K.

Flying lead at the moment because the kids love to play it.Used to be Combatzone postApoc games .Both these game in 25-28mm figures.

Lately it's been 5150… but tonight we're playing Rogue Trader with this wacky scenario my friend thought up.

all things zombie, it was 4 of the last 6 games I have played over the last year

I think the one I play most is the 'Hide new purchases from the wife' game ;)

Just kidding, actually it is the JUSTIFY the new toys to the wife game.

Mostly home-brewed fast-play skirmish rules with 25/28mm figures. Dean

I usually play WWII and Vietnam in 28mm or 20mm using Disposable Heroes rules. That said, my game group also plays WWII Nuts!, James Bond adventures in 28mm, GW Fantasy, 1920's gangsters using 2 Hour Wargames, and Road Warrior/Cars Wars style games using modified Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars recently.
Peter

FOG-AM and FOG-R.

DM

15mm WWII and Near Future using Disposable Heroes. Throw in some Zombies now and then for some mindless fun.

Getting ready to set up a few East Front games for Blitzkreig Commander in 10mm.

Martian Empires,
it's been getting pretty
popular at the local
store and it's all I can do
to keep adding terrain.

Was on a ATZ spree…lately it's been Song of Blades and Heroes….

For me, Flames of War as well. Five year ago, the first time I played it, I said "meh", but my buddies liked it so I played follow the leader… Except NOW I'm the leader! We have a lot of fun with it, and can always find willing players.

Am working on 15mm napoleonics for BP or Lasalle, so hope to add those to my 'most played' list soon…

Depends on "since when"

Last 6 months, lots of Black Powder
Over a couple of years, probably BKC II

Volley & Bayonet
DBA/HOTT
Rapid Fire!
Wings of War
40K

Joe Collins

DBA and HoTT by a mile. Also some Command and Colors Ancients.

I've been keeping track of my games on Board Game Geek for about 5 or 6 years. Since I've been doing that, Rezolution is on the top of my list at 77 out of 440 games played. Next runner up, and rapidly so is AE-WWII at something like 40 out of 440.

DBA
Fire and Fury
Check your six

Arc of Fire at the moment.

DBA and HOTT

I've been experimenting with several new rules designs over the past few years but the one game I end up playing the most is Shipbase III (computer-assist naval miniatures, pre-Dread through WWII) and variants thereof.

Haven't tried it with zombies yet.

CY6

DBA then FOW as they are the most popular games at the club.

After that probably Lasalle.

Might and Reason and Blackpowder have been the most played in my group….though the gang did some Flintloque thursday that I missed.

Current: WH40K
Before that, it was Dark Age. And before that was HotT. And before that was Vor: the Maelstrom. And before that was WH40K. And before that was DBA. And before that was WH40K. And that catches us up for the last 20 years.

Its Battleground "Weird" WWII for me.

Brian

Piquet, Piquet, Piquet

FOG (about a quarter of all the games I have played this year)

Watch Your Six! WWI air war in 1/72.

Have slowed down on this lately -- probably only play 30 odd games a year now which is about half of what I did the previous 5 years.

Business is good which means gaming is bad.

Since I do all my gaming at our club, mostly WWII with DHC7B. Been playing some WWII naval actions with (I think) General Quarters III which has been fun. Played a massive Austerlitz game with hundreds of 15mm minis using Age of Eagles which was a blast. It seems I always miss the games of Check Your 6! at the club, but that is fun and I manage to be an even worse pilot than I am admiral which is saying something.

Getting ready to dive back into FIW with This Very Ground again when I get my 15mm Blue Moon stuff done.

Full thrust , best space ship game out there .

Currently Colonial Battlefleet, secondly a mix of Ganesha games products.

Robert

LOTR: SBG

The past couple years have been mostly:
AE-WWII
Pulp City

With a minor in recent months for:
Strange Aeons
Anima Tactics

and in theory, though not as recently:
AE-Bounty
Malifaux

Plus some playtesting and demo games and what have you. But those top two are most of what I have played for the past two years now.

Piquet, Field of Battle

DBA is in the lead, without a doubt. Check Your Six, Fire and Fury, Wooden Ships and Iron Men, DBR, HOTT, War At Sea, Panzer Leader and Command Decision are also favorites that I have been able to play more than once in the last year.

This is going to be a large Poll.
If it makes it to the Big Time, I would suggest that Bill only include the #1 choices.

I love Warmaster/Bo5A, and of course I've written my own spaceship combat game, G.O.B.S.!, which *I* think is the best one out there (). I also enjoy LotR and Ogre/GEV.

So naturally the game I play most is…

Risk.

(Okay, maybe that doesn't qualify as a miniatures game… so we're back to Bo5A/Warmaster. But the Risk line was funnier.)

Last six months: Epic Armageddon, with Warmachine/Hordes in 2nd.

The six months before that was BFE:World At War

If I look at the last five years as an average, Epic Armageddon, Warmachine/Hordes, and WFB are the top runners, with WAB and Ogre Miniatures the Runners Up.

In the last two years, medical games have sort of taken priority.

WAB, I suppose. Playing around a good bit with Impetus as an alternative. Flames of War was on a roll, but soured for me with some stupid things: overriding an aithor's research (FSSF in "Dogs and Devils") and generally churning the support material.

In fact, the last two years have been more a question of "What miniatures game has disappointed me the most?" #1 there: Field of Glory, obviously; but then WAB and FoW.

Allen

Flames of War. Sometimes I manage to get in Rules of Engagement. I'm still trying to sell my fellow local gamers on Black Powder.

Blood Bowl
DBA
Blitzkrieg Commander
Monster Island

Now, doing a big switchover to Savage Worlds. Back then, variant 40k 2nd ed., NetEpic.

6mm WWII
1/6000 scale naval miniatures – WWI
1/2400 scale age of sail – War of 1812

Check Your 6.

BBDBA & HotT just ahead of Epic:A and Uncharted Seas

Mostly IABSM, with a little Charlie Don't Surf for seasoning!
