Give me the two you enjoy the most and the era you haven't gamed can be either they don't make figs for it , you don't have the figs yet or no one else wants to but you .

Mine are : 1) AWI
2) 19th Cent.Colonial
The one I want to game : Paraguayan War

Early morning writer02 Sep 2016 10:47 p.m. PST

AWI – by a wide margin for 1st place (for me) and then, probably, Old West. Haven't gamed? Harder, I'd have to go with haven't collected – and that would be the Vietnam conflict. Too close to home – just a year or two to young to have been draft eligible, know too many vets, too hard to replicate well on the table.

Now, best period to put no the table – that has to be the Seven Years War.

Weasel02 Sep 2016 11:22 p.m. PST

WW2 and Science Fiction.

Danish-German war of 1848-50. Too obscure for many and only a few miniatures ranges out there.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP03 Sep 2016 5:44 a.m. PST

Favorites Napoleonic c. 1809 and WWII c. 1942--famous, asymmetric and plenty of possible combinations.

The one I want to and (almost) never have is Barsoomian skirmish. I have lead, terrain, rules--and no opponents. Very sad.

Mooseworks803 Sep 2016 6:18 a.m. PST

2. Fantasy

Odd: Steampunk

Knight of St John03 Sep 2016 6:20 a.m. PST

I was always interested in the Crimean War, amassed a lot of figures, painted a few. Never went further as no one in the club was interested and I would have to paint both sides.

Timotheous04 Sep 2016 11:43 a.m. PST

Two favorites for me are 18th century horse and musket (anything in tricornes) and ancients (again using the broad church method to include dark ages and medieval).

Like to do: pirates-the perfect excuse to do narrative adventures, ship to ship combat, and swashbuckling action.

pessa0004 Sep 2016 10:16 p.m. PST

Interesting there's quite few colonials players/lovers.
