Hi all For wee bit of mindless fun I stuck up a list of 18th Century rule sets I own on my Blog. How many do you have in your collection ? link |
Ottoathome | 02 Aug 2016 4:51 a.m. PST |
None. I wrote my own and published them. Glad you had fun though. |

Thank you for posting those. While I have not played most of them it is always interesting to see what is out there. A couple you listed I have heard good things about so will look them up. They look like fun. 🍺 |

Hi Sgt., That's a lot of rule sets. As you know I like Piquet. I also like the look of Maurice, but as you say, it's built for a certain size of game which is invariably too small for my tastes. Drop me an email (side bar of blog) and I'll send you my house / amended Classic Piquet for big battles set – you already have the official rules (Piquet and FoB) so I guess Brent won't mind. |

For small level actions we use Fire and Discipline which is a 1:10 company unit scale/ For skirmish games we still use the old 1981 'Glory!' which covered combat due to rifle classifications from 1750-1913. |

Mitre, Mustache and Musket; everything else is superfluous. |
lloydthegamer | 02 Aug 2016 2:46 p.m. PST |
Ga Pa is lots of fun, so is Maurice. We just played a six player Maurice game that went very well. It's been years since I played Konig Krieg, but had a great time playing it. |

I only have M&R but I am not unhappy to have saved all that money by not buying any others. |
daler240D | 03 Aug 2016 9:03 a.m. PST |
oh! I forgot about Ga Pa, I have that as well and it looks great but is more detailed than I can handle : ( |

Honors of War ( Seen good comments but no play near me) Maurice (Wow, seems more liked than most here, must be fun) Played and own A TON of naval rules. Won't even go there. |
