"List of Titles used for rules, Please add yours..Long" Topic

"Hammerzone" (Sci-fi Skirmish, 1997?)

"Dice for Honor" (Samurai Skirmish, 2003)

"WWII, The Hard Way" (WWII Skirmish, 2002)

My rules have not been officially published but have been run at a few conventions and distributed in playtest versions. The last two rulesets are active projects that I may eventually publish (or post as Freeware/Shareware at a minimum).

Shirts vs. Skins - Colonial/Imperial Era

I am currently polishing a Colonial set of rules; and in the tradition of "The Sword and the Flame", I've taken my title from one of Kipling's poems ("The Ballad of East and West"). So my rules are called:

Khyber Knife (by Jeff Hudelson)

For those interested, the verse lines they are taken from are:

"They have looked each other between the eyes, and there they found no fault.
They have taken the Oath of the Brother-in-Blood on leavened bread and salt;
They have taken the Oath of the Brother-in-Blood on fire and fresh cut sod,
On the hilt and the haft of the Khyber knife, and the Wondrous Names of God."

Also, some years ago I wrote a set of early 18th Century rules which I called:

Lace Wars Rules

Dux Bellorum Late Roman/Dark Age big skirmish/ small battle rules

Coureurs and Rangers skirmish rules for FIW

Fire and Fury ACW
Red on Blue modern
Longest day WW2
Universal Marine SciFi future wars

"Warhammer 1917" - Warhammer Panzer battles variant for WWI.

"Berlin '46" - alternate WWII game with battlesuits and high tech. And SS werewolves and zombies, of course.

"Warlords" - Dark Ages skirmish based on GW's LotR rules.

If people are wanting to see if a name has already been used for a game... a Google search on the specific phrase should usually be effective.

"Runestone" (Fantasy skirmish, still trying to perfect it...)

"The Breaking of Nations" WWI Skirmish, but can be tinkered with for Napoleonic to Modern.

"Fixed Bay'net an' 'Uncovered 'Elmet" Colonial variant of TBoN

"Landships of Mogdonazia" VSF add on for TSATF

Plus some unnamed odds and sods...

ARES - fantasy skirmish with troop design system

Defiance - sci-fi skirmish with army design system

Starmada - starship combat with ship design system

"Disposable Heroes" Infantry skirmish, and "Coffin for Seven Brothers" vehicle system published by Iron Ivan Games.

One of my New Year resolutions is to gather together my notes and get down to compiling my "Fustest with the Mostest" ACW rules - emphasising Command & Control; morale; and general chaos on the battlefield.

[Sam Mutafa's napoleonic rules are called 'Grande Armee' which if I remember correctly was also a title used by SPI for their 1809 Campaign boardgame.]

"La Grande Armee" was the SPI game, and their trademark died in 1983. So I dropped the article and nabbed it!

My other contributions:

"Sabres!" - 1:1 horse and musket era skirmish game

"Battlegroup" - platoon-level modern micro-armor game

And published in MWAN:

"La Grande Guerre" - grand GRAND tactical horse and musket campaign system.

"Spirit of '76" - American Rev game, 1:20 scale.

"Usuthu!" - 1:10 scale Zulu war

And God knows how many I've forgotten.

I was wondering how long , it would be before you listed yours SAm and thanks for the clarification on the SPI trademark.

"Power and Freedom" - Modern Skirmish rules for African Wars (MWAN, can't recall exactly which issue)

"Special Forces" - Modern Skirmish (on website)

"Hunters in the Sky" - WWII Air Combat (on website)

"Knights in the Sky" - WWI Air Combat (on website)

"MiG Hunters" - 1950's Air Combat (on website)

"Star Hunters" - Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica fighter combat (on website)

"Storm of Steel; From Mons to the Meuse-Argonne" - WWI era supplement for Michael Peters operational level "Storm of Steel" rules. (on website)

"Risus Wild West!" - Wild west supplement for S. John Ross' Risus RPG (on website)

"Pirates & Plunder" - Pirate RPG (will be on website when &%@$*&$ Yahoo fixes their file system so I can add it!)

Pro Gloria SYW and 18th Century rules and Pro Patria Napoleonic rules.

Evolved from WRG and Elan 2 and for people with armies based for WRG and Age or Reason.

Currently Pro Gloria is being edited, professionally,but keep an eye thgem at link for updates and the rules as they are in current form.

Godzilla versus Tokyo (1/300 fastplay rules)

Destroy a Lot of Monsters (1/700 monster combat)

James Bond Scuba Action (54mm-ish game for plastic scuba guys from the toy aisle of the grocery store)

All run at conventions in Texas (so played outside the playtest group) but unpublished...

Beneath the Waves (Large scale steampunk submarines)
Dead walk Again (28mm Zombie shooter)
FEAR (Aliens inspired combat system)
Starfighters (Starship combat system)

Two diverse rules I've invented:

Snuffles the Baby Seal - 25mm whacky skirmish game involving Baby Seals, Seal Hunters, Beer, Polar Bears, and much more...

Across the Rio Grande - Mexican-American War rules in 1:33 scale. I still need to work on the fire and close combat rules, though I'm fairly happy with the unique command and control rules I came up with for it.

No title yet - 10mm (or other if you wish) rules utilizing the actual tactical commands on a deck of cards. It should be a fast play game emphasizing realistic movement techniques from the period.

Warbound - Universal Skirmish Miniature rules for 25-28mm to be published in 2005

Plus some supplements in development:

Warlords of the Jungle (pulp/tarzanesque)
Metal Angels (winged cyborg angels VS extradimensional invaders)
Sentry (superpowered street combat)

Which I changed to the following after a question on the historical newsgroup in 96, I believe, told me that the above title had been used, for a magazine, I think.

Driver, Advance!

Goll dang it, Cartman!

I knew this looked familiar – I was trolling through game design, saw this topic up near the top, read Rudy's initial post to get the question and then answered above. Not noticing the date on Rudy's initial post was 2004 and only after I'd posted did I realize that I had responded, almost a year ago, 22 Sep 2004, with exactly the same thing!

DUH!!!

I really, really intend to finish these rules "next year". They are for VSF and Colonial land warfare in 15mm or smaller.

Adding a ruleset I'm working on- "Blade on Bone" (Dark Ages skirmish) to my previous list.

Along the lines of this topic – how does the trade marking of rules names work?????? Anyone done this???

On simialar lines – given there are only so many ways to 'skin a cat', what hapens if 2 rule sets have 'simialar' sub-sections? Anyone know of legal action having been initiated in the past?????

All the best

Daryl

At least some of these have been used by others and are distinguished by sub-titles, or similar subterfuge.

"The Regulations of '06" miniatures, started as Napoleonic (Regs of '04) but currently concentrates on SYW. There have been others using variations on the name, but not that particular variation that I've found.

All the best
