Do you like to play the same battle, using different rulesets? |

I have played the same battle in a different period, with different rules and figures. I did Placenoit with a Napoleonic set of rules. Later I did Placenoit with 1870 armies using "They Died For Glory." link |

Sure. We've fought Plataea with WRG, DBA, DBM, Field of Glory, Sword & SPear and To the Strongest. We've fought Albuera with Shako, Fire & Fury Napoleonic, Lasalle. Hondeghem 1940 with Rapid Fire, IABSM and Battlefront WW2.
A good scenario works in any rules, and it is often interesting to see how different rules work out. |

I have done so in the past. Not recently. |

I've done it. It's a good way to test rules. |

I have done it,to test rules out. |

Yes, love it. But not done it recently. |

No aversion to this, but it is not something I seek out to do. We replay a lot of battles. A good scenario should have the depth for replay. When I write scenarios, they usually have options and pseudo random conditions in the setup, as well as variants. |

Like etotheipi, have done it but something we try to do |

Concur about a great way to test rules |

At a convention, one game was a Battle of Peleliu using 6mm Command Decision rules. The next table over was my game of a Battle at Peleliu using 20mm Nuts! rules. The action on our tabletop occurred in one hex on the other table. |

Something I have thought of doing for some time. |
| rustymusket | 31 Jan 2019 8:55 a.m. PST |
It sounds interesting, but I have never done it. |

Only a couple of times, as a trial of rules under consideration. |

Well, with a collection of 100 Days campaign armies, I'll be playing those battles with whatever Napoleonic rules I'm trying out. |

At Cold Wars on Friday night Chris Hughes will be running a 28mm Tarawa beach landing game using beautifully done terrain boards and using Chain of Command. I will run the game the next morning using Bolt Action…it will be interesting to compare and contrast now the game plays. |

The HAWKs have been fighting the same Napoleonic battle with three different sets of rules at the HMGS East conventions going back a year or two. Interestingly enough, the outcomes seem pretty similar. |
