Without a doubt medieval. Either 12th C or HYW periods. Then Ancients (specifically early Rome and the late Empire), 3nd would be WWII, then the Warhammer games. Damon. |

Choosing one may be hard, but I'm curious what people will choose if they have to choose just 1 instead of 5. |
| ancientsgamer | 07 Jul 2012 10:35 a.m. PST |
If I had to choose one, it would be cheating. I would say pre-gunpowder era is my favorite but this covers a HUGE time period ;-) Narrowing it down further would be Roman Empire and High Medieval period (just before widespread use of hand guns). I do like chariot war periods as a sub genre too. Then it would be Napoleonic, Lace Wars, Renaissance, WWII and ACW (probably in this order). BUT I like sub-genres in between such as WWI air and most naval battle settings of any era. My answers, with the exception of air and naval, is that I prefer combined arms games where infantry and cavalry interact. In the case of latter periods, I want infantry and armor to interact in a meaningful way. Don't get me wrong, I like micro-armor but my study of history concludes that infantry is still important and gaming that doesn't take this into account isn't proper (air and naval combat as an exception of cours) |
