Okay, getting ready to do the annual clean up of my rules collection. Part of the exercise is beating the weeds for any rule sets out there I don't know about. So here we go.

What Historical rule sets am I missing from this list?

The copy of Bloody Picnic I have is entitled 'Wargaming the end of Empires' and dates given as 1904-24.

Same author & publisher. ISBN 1-85818-518-1

Some rules published by the Society of Ancients, originally as their annual 'bonus' for members are not in the list though they have always been available to buy by non-members. Not sure whether you would include those.

An example is Corvus – Ancient Naval rules.

I'll check my old stuff to see if I can find any others, I have a vague feeling that some of the naval rules I have may be missing but that is a LONG list so I may be wrong.

Knighthood and the Middle Ages – predecessor to Day of Battle

Bio One – more a hit location and effects system in the 70s, so maybe not a rules system per se

Universal Soldier – Ancients/Medievals by RAFM

The first edition of Boot Hill is pretty wargamey, so maybe not an RPG

Good game! Are these games still in publication, or any games?

@Advocate:

Which game are you referring to?

Que? SCW rules from Irregular Miniatures.
Marlborough Country. Also from Irregular Miniatures. In fact, I think you might be missing most of the Irregular rules.

There are loads of free non commercial wargames rules out there too!
I assume you are just wanting to list Commercial sets?

Personal logo Extra Crispy Sponsoring Member of TMP29 Dec 2016 7:29 p.m. PST

No, free is fine. But if they are just 4 copied pages distributed among friends….

Colonial Skirmish Rules, From the 1970's, and a couple more titles from the same stable. I can get more details if you want them.
