I don't really game it. I read so much about it that I gave up on trying to have a good game from it. |

ACW is my favorite. Followed by Colonials, then SYW/FIW, AWI, and Nappys. Like others I have a large collection of ACW books, which I have culled multiple times over the years. I see no purpose in keeping intro level info when I'm past the intro stage. I give them away to others interested in the period. I am in the process of updating (paint touch-ups and et cetera) and rebasing my figures for FnF regimental. |

ACW is the only mass-combat game I have at the moment. So, yes, if we qualified it accordingly. Since I primarily play non-ACW skirmish games, then I would say no. |

ACW is the period I know the most about, read extensively, and enjoy playing the most, but also have interest in other era's such as ancients, colonial, and for non-historical it's Superheroes! Kim |
| jrbatso | 29 Aug 2011 7:14 p.m. PST |
Still a major interest but I play more WWII than anything. |
| FireZouave | 29 Aug 2011 8:36 p.m. PST |
ACW primarily with 10mm, 15mm and 28mm, but also WWII. Don't play anything else because I don't have the time to even play enough ACW |

ACW is my favorite period, but I also like to play SYW and Colonials. |
| Gennorm | 30 Aug 2011 4:32 a.m. PST |
I avoided it for a long time but have just painted a Union corps as I reckon it work well under Black Powder with a few tweaks. |

Nope. Not enough ray guns or werewolves. |

It's my favorite period but I play many other periods and odd games as well. |
| bracken | 30 Aug 2011 10:20 a.m. PST |
I don't game any more but acw is my passion and has being for more than half of my life , yes there have being times when I've strayed back to NAPOLEONICS and started new projects ! But end of the day acw is the life blood of my hobby ! |
| Ginger rebel | 30 Aug 2011 11:54 a.m. PST |
My favorite period also and as a newbie to wargaming still learning but having fun.
Infact building 2 Confederate brigades now
Still enjoy other periods like wss/ecw. |

No but quite interested in the idea if not the reality. Have three sets of rules for land based but sold the figures twice (not the same sets) and keep drooling over the Baccus figures at shows… |
| donlowry | 30 Aug 2011 1:44 p.m. PST |
No, it's the era on which I have the most expertise, but I play more WW2. For a number of reasons, including what eras I have opponents for. But mostly because the part of the ACW that interests me most is the strategy, not the tactics -- i.e. the campaigns/maneuvering, not the battlefield/combat. |
| quidveritas | 30 Aug 2011 4:15 p.m. PST |
No. That said I have 2000+ painted figs. Not sure what that sez about me or the period. |
| vtsaogames | 30 Aug 2011 5:47 p.m. PST |
Love ACW, but play Republican Rome to WWII.
Black powder is my main favorite, with SYW, AWI, Napoleonic, ACW and FPW armies. |
| Mikey Rebel | 31 Aug 2011 2:58 a.m. PST |
Love ACW and WWII, they are my fav top two periods, fire & Fury, FOW, operatio squad. napoleonics also, but do play others. my fav size in 28mm |
| Bandit | 31 Aug 2011 5:46 a.m. PST |
I started with ACW, did it exclusively for perhaps 5-7 years, then moved onto Napoleonics and did that (with BattleTech interspersed) for about 10 years. Recently I resumed ACW and in the couple years I've actually done some of each as well as starting WW2. Right now I face the issue all ACW gamers do. I need more fences. Cheers, The Bandit |

Yes ACW is my favorite period and I have played more of it than any other period. But in the least five years or so I have played ACW less then AWI which is my current project. But with the 150th anniversary of the ACW, I have just started playing more ACW. I would list my favorite periods but I have rarely played or heard of a period I didn't like (Cartlist? No thanks). Usually what decides the period I am going to do are, if there are any available rules I like and can I generate enough interest to get players. Do I have time for it. So many periods, so little time. The periods I have figures for and actively play are:
ACW
AWI
2nd Boer War
Franco/Prussian
French Victorian Era Colonial (TSTAF Variant)
Napoleonic (Hardly ever use my small number of figs) Periods I don't have figures for but actively play with others figures are: Napoleonics(I don't have enough to matter)
British Victorian Era Colonial (TSTAF)
SYW
WWII (Can't really get into this period, but I will (and have) game it, if I like the rules which I usually don't. Periods I would like to game more:
SYW
ECW
Spanish Civil War
Mexican/American
Napoleonics Periods I have projects planned for:
AWI (done south, now working on Saratoga)
ECW
Napoleonics (Pennisular 25/28mm)
WWI (1914 western front and middle east)

Chiefly interested in ACW military history. Tons of easily available primary souces from both sides, lots of battlefields within driving distance, etc…, etc… AND interesting moral and philosphical issues to boot ! |
