Singular or plural, to save on space. These words that should not be used for a while, since they all tend to run together. I am currently writing "Flames of Liberty" for AWI gaming, BTW. NOT, 1) Flame 2) War 3) Glory 4) Sword 5) Honor (or Honour) 6) Field I hope no one has "Fields of Flames", or "Swords of Honour" currently on the word procvessor. On a related topic, I am glad to see that the alliterative triple play titles have died out. Boobies, Blunderbusses and Broadsides for coed Pirate gaming, anyone?

I did a geeklist on BGG once that had 8 entries with the word "Glory" just from WWI games alone.

John the OFM	06 Mar 2012 6:23 p.m. PST
At least we have now pre-empted "Dungeons of the Emperor" and "Hammer of the Eagles"! Keep up the good work!

Science Fiction games that include the word "Star." Grelber P.S. Better rename my draft of "Dragons at Twilight: Emperors, Eagles, and Honor."

Fire, in any language.

Fortunately nobody has taken Achtung PanzerKrieg! yet, but I better hurry or I'll have to find a new title for my War of Jenkins Ear rules.

Disposable Coffin Brothers But not necessarily in that order.
John the OFM	06 Mar 2012 9:24 p.m. PST
Panzer! Krieg!! How could I have left them out? "Ear", though, is relatively fresh. However, I do know that there at least 7 new rules coming out for the War of Jenkins Ear in 2012 (one of the perks of being Da Awards Commissioner!), so you had better act quickly.
David Manley	06 Mar 2012 11:22 p.m. PST
"Faction" "Trait" "Boobies"

<P.S. Better rename my draft of "Dragons at Twilight: Emperors, Eagles, and Honor."> Yes, "Dragons OF Twilight …" would be much better.

Grizzlymc wrote: Aufstragstaktik Interesting -- I have never seen a set of rules with that in the title. Please cure my ignorance. So far, it looks as if I am fairly safe with the next three titles I have in mind -- "Palembang Ramrod", "BG Sunray", and either "Neverwar II -- Buckets of Sunshine" or just possibly "Supermac and the Violet Club Boondoggle". All the best, John.
timlillig	07 Mar 2012 10:34 a.m. PST
No such words. Think of the most cliche name you can, "Honor Wars in the Age of Flame" or something, if the rules are good, I'll play them.
Inari7	07 Mar 2012 10:57 a.m. PST
I am working on my new ruleset called The war swords of glory on the flaming field of honor.
Whatisitgood4atwork	07 Mar 2012 5:40 p.m. PST
Oh, and 'Art', especially when teamed with 'of'.

You there! Yes, you! You know who I am talking to. The guy writing "Hammers of Honour"! YES, YOU! Stop that!
