"If you could choose:. Which period by which author?" Topic

So, imagine you could commission a rule set to cover any period of your choice by any author of your choosing. Which period would you choose and who would you choose to write them?

Classical Ancients
Jeff Jonas

Franco-Prussian War – Rich Clarke of TooFatLardies

I've been waiting patiently for years as I know he will eventually come up with the goods.

I can tell.

;-)

Okay, I'd be happy with both of the above!
But I'd love to see Howard Whitehouse rules for the
Indian Mutiny.

Andy Callan guesting with the TooFatLardies – ECW

DBF rewrite by Phil Barker.
Mass Fantasy by Andrea S. Ganesha Games

Gunpowder Empires (Ottomans, Safavids, Mughals)15th to 18th centuries with Sam Mustafa.

Waco,
We should put together a petition.

AWI by Richard Borg. I know he has done it, but I haven't seen it. Clash for a Continent/Hold the Line just didn't do it for me.

Sci-fi by Phil Barker.

If only Steve Mynes would write a set of Zulu War rules.

There are already two rules sets which, if I had to choose just one game to play for the rest of my life, I would choose one of them.

Fire and Fury Regimental by Rich Hasenauer
Commands and Colors Ancients by Richard Borg

Fire and Fury Regimental by Rich Hasenauer
Commands and Colors Ancients by Richard Borg

…………… Jeff Jonas can beat up either of them.

:)

Allegedly the TFL were making a set of ECW rules called 'In the Buffe' but I've heard no more – any news?

Oh, and of course the long awaited 'War of Jenkin's Ear' by John the OFM.

Field of Battle by Brent Oman. It covers 1700-early WWI so I'm not too limited. The core rules are also being used for Ancients which I love. Best set of rules I have ever played!

Thanks,

John

Battalion level Napoleonics by John Hill.

Ringworld by Larry Niven

Crimson Skies Redux

Classical Ancients/Fantasy for ImagiNation Campaigns

A what-if early Space Race/Exploration/Interplanetary Warfare game with modular Gemini/Soyuz/Apollo miniatures and Moonbase skirmishing

A good futuristic undersea campaign

Simple ancient rules conceived by Phil Barker but written by somebody who can make themselves understandable to a wide community of players.

What Fat Wally said – Franco-Prussian War by Rich Clarke.
Hopefully it would work with the 12 man/4 stand infantry units I have.

AWI by Artie Conliffe. I really like Crossfire; although, I've not seen a successful attempt to grow this to multiple players per side. If he could do for AWI what he did for WWII with Crossfire, that might be really interesting. The recent issue of Miniature Wargames had an interesting article about a "morale game" by Wally Simon. Combining some of those ideas with some of Artie's other ideas might make a real winner.

Sailing naval (pirate, perhaps) skirmish game by Chris Palmer (of GASLIGHT). This would be something where each player has one ship and there might be just three or four on a side. Enough sailing detail to make commanding a single boat interesting and provide tactical decisions to the player.

Spearhead 2 by Arty Conliffe. A refresh and update would be great.

I'm with timmoUK, ECW by Too Fat Lardies

Hi

Fast play Napoleonics by Scott Bowden…
