or your top five choices? This is inspired by a post today.I only have M&R and never intend to have any other sets.I have owned and discarded any number in my time

I have given up on commercial rule sets for the WAS/SYW and now use my own. This is because I have yet to find a set that reflects the linear warfare of the period.

Might and Reason Maurice Warfare in the Age of Reason Charge! One Hour Wargames ( I use this to introduce people to gaming) Twilight of the Sun King (with additional rules and tweaks since it is designed for WSS) Currently enjoying "Der Alte Fritz's" rules and also mashing up Might and Reason with some elements from Blucher. (momentum dice)

I have two. Gentlemen of France, Fire First! for skirmishes Volley and Bayonet for full battles. I don't even look at other rules for the period anymore.

Warfare in the Age of Reason Black Powder Home-brewed set Alte Fritz's set Volley and Bayonet
Mute Bystander	03 Aug 2016 5:57 a.m. PST
None. That may change if I start playing the period in 2017.
The Nigerian Lead Minister	03 Aug 2016 6:18 a.m. PST
On one hand, none, as I don't play SYW. On the other, lots, since I have a lot of rules which span multiple periods, Black Powder for example, or Maurice which I got to use for the AWI.

Might and Reason. Maurice.

Just a few…but I do not play SYW. Used two with Warfare in the Age of Reason, but sold my Prussians and got rid of those rules (I think). I do have the following: Two volumes of Koenig Krieg (bought the second copy for about nothing) Miters, Mustaches, and Muskets (or something like that) Gentlemen of France, Fire First Volley and Bayonet
