Which set of rules do you recommend for the War of the Spanish Succession? |

Should this not be on the 18th Century Board?? |

Beneath the Lily Banners! Though we are still waiting for V3 to be released! |

I am going to be using Age of Eagles supplement Age of Honor. |

Twilight of the Sun King, though I'm struggling a bit with the 2nd edition, it's not quite as clear to me as 1.1 was. |
| Khusrau | 31 Aug 2017 1:45 p.m. PST |
Really depends on what you want from a set of rules, the scale you are using and so on. |

I enjoy Maurice for WSS. Simple, streamlined game rules that can have plenty of period feel by using the Nationals advantage cards properly. |

We have been using Blenheim 2004 for quite a few years now and have been very satisfied. |
| daler240D | 31 Aug 2017 4:52 p.m. PST |
Twilight of the Sun King, by far. There is very little that differentiates the others. |
| daler240D | 31 Aug 2017 4:56 p.m. PST |
edit: Ga Pa is excellent IF you are REALLY into detailed games that take longer.
Maurice is a great game, but it is a whole different world. |

Another vote for Twilight of the SunKing. We use 10 mm figures, 2 x 60mm bases make up a unit, but you can use any scale of figures and any basing, as all gire and movement dustancesxare referred to as " base widths". Have played Blenheim and Ramillies. Same rule set also useable for Great Northern War and War of League of Augsburg. Basic rules are easily picked up by most players. |

I have also used Twilight and like the rules. I have 2nd edition, but have not tried them yet. |

Might and Reason, or Maurice! |
| Khusrau | 31 Aug 2017 11:57 p.m. PST |
Well, currently using Horse Foot & Guns, and have Maurice. |
| DGT123 | 01 Sep 2017 8:57 a.m. PST |
BLB looking into using Pike & Shotte, and Carnage and Glory 2. |
| Bashytubits | 01 Sep 2017 1:57 p.m. PST |
Might and Reason, Maurice. |
| mghFond | 03 Sep 2017 1:47 p.m. PST |
Yet another vote for BLB! |

Wait, there's more than one ruleset for West Side Story?!? |
| cae5ar | 05 Sep 2017 7:16 p.m. PST |
I'm yet to find a set of rules I like better than Maurice. |
| CAPTAIN BEEFHEART | 10 Sep 2017 4:58 a.m. PST |
We used Black powder. For us, the rules chose the period for various reasons. It played fast and fun. Like Khusrau says, what kind of experience are you looking for. If the rule set is called 'Battle of Midway' and is perfect for European Medieval combat, go for it. |
| Royal Marine | 11 Sep 2017 1:42 p.m. PST |
West Side Story was very complex and needed a good rule set. Not sure that Broadway captured the feeling well so a West End re-write is needed. |
| Sgt Steiner | 13 Sep 2017 2:17 a.m. PST |
Piquet Field of Battle or Cartouche are nice alternatives as is Die Fighting and Capt General in addition to those already mentioned |
| Elbow Mac | 05 Oct 2017 3:16 p.m. PST |
Probably me being useless but where can you get Might & Reason – I can't find them anywhere |
| DukeWacoan | 20 Oct 2017 2:11 p.m. PST |
Carnage & Glory II is outstanding. If you don't like the computer, then GaPa is specific to the period, outstanding army lists (I used them to my whole OOBs and use them for C&G as well), and GaPa plays well. Some unusual aspects and mechanics, but works well and plays well. |
