Jim, The author of those rules has been showing up at the Historicon and other East shows. You might check there dealer listing for contact info.

I'm calling my most recent design "Toe to TOW" – it's a skirmish game for individual-level to platoon-level combat.

Bravo Six28 Feb 2006 8:25 p.m. PST

Working on a lite set right now for house use and beyond possibly, called "Hard Six" – Generic Quick Play Skirmish (Multi-Period). It's the working title anyway.

—————-
Wargamers Guide To The English Civil War, 2nd. edition.
An alternative to the popular contemporary systems that has stood the test of time for nearly thirty years. Easy and fun rules. Available.
———————
Drums of War Along The Mohawk (F&I Wars}
Now available again by photocopy in limited quantities.
Skirmish and multi-brigade level game with tons of information and commentary. Easy and fun rules. These too have stood the test of time over nearly twenty years
———————-
There is a working spin-off of Drums for Europe of the 1740s-1763, The War of the Austrian Succession but primarily the Seven Years' War.
I might self-publish it in 2006.
I have just about settled on a title.
It is a multi-brigade game meaning several brigades per side for 15mm-40mms in 1, 2, 3 or 4 ranks using small, medium and large sized units. Your choice. Flexible.
Easy and fun with a ton of background information.

Galactic Warlords; changed
War-Torn Universe; None have made it to publication. Quick start rules were sent all over the US. 300 + copies, No feedback.

I'm calling my series of rules 'for the'
For the King, For the Empire, For the Glory, etc.

battlethunder12 May 2006 7:07 a.m. PST

Well if this is a list then better add mine, all being used by current rules from battlethunder.com

Vietnam – "From the delta to the DMZ"
RCW – "Cold before the dawn"
Colonial – "Under a blazing sun"
Pony Wars – "Dogsoldiers"

I think the basic point to be gleaned from this thread is that it is getting to the stage where wargamers are running out of rule titles. This is going to change things from a nice little hobby, to the situation already occuring in the States where people are TM'ing their rules.

My most recent rules are:

Bundock and Bayonet – Colonial rules

SCWaRes – Simple Colonial Wargames Rules (they use squares for movement etc.

Hordes of Natives – DBA/HOTT-style colonial rules

Heroes of Victoria's Empire – More colonial

Redcoats & Natives – Even more colonial

Red Flags and Iron Crosses – WW2 Eastern Front

Common themes in the most recent rules I have written are:
* the use of Kallistra hexagonal terrain.
* a playing card driven movement sequence.
* the importance of a commanders intervention in events on the battlefield.

The rules are easy to learn and produce results in one or two hours (depending upon how many units are being fielded).

Empire Virtual – Interstellar Campaign
Battle Pass – Simple space ship-or-fighter game

By the way, if I recall, you can't copyright titles, though, of course, you can trademark them. Damn costly, I hear.

My own – Our Moccasins Trickled Blood.

Amazing to see how many on this thread are no longer around. Wonder what that might be a reflection of?

"Grand Army" – (with Pete Rice) rules for Napoleonic and ACW games

"Ironclad" -- (with Tom Wham) ACW naval rules

One that I chose the name for but didn't author was "Hardtack" (by Lou Zocchi) ACW rules. Lou never liked that title, btw.

Age of Sail rules "Steer to Glory" – which title BTW considerably pre-dates the appearance of the similar sounding "Sails of Glory".
