… for wargames. Even if you're still proudly sporting your 70's mullet (possibly a skullet by now) in which decade of the 20th cent are most of the games you play set? While a decade (or a century, for that matter) is a highly arbitrary division of time, one could easily identify significant changes in the conduct of warfare for each decade. Do you have a go-to decade of the 1900's? What is it? If your fave is theater specific, what's that as well? I would go with the 40's because you get WWII and the early Soviet resistance. A close second would be the 90's for the wars I fought in (or didn't personally fight in) while I was on active duty. |

The 20th Century overall must have been the bloodiest with all the Big and little wars, conflicts, etc.. That had occurred all over the world. |

Really hard to pick one as it changes over time. I used to do French Foreign Legion at the turn of the century. Then did a bunch of WW2. Picked up some "Sand Pebbles" and did the '30's in China. Russian Civil War was next. At the moment I do WW1 in Mesopotamia, Vietnam, and am just starting "Cold War gone hot." So, at the moment I think the 80's will be the decade of choice going forward (both because it's an interesting what-if and I served from '77 to '85) and the 60's the most recent decade I've gamed a lot in. |

If I'm playing a game set in the last century, it's usually a WWII scenario in Europe, so: 1940s Europe. That being said, I may only play one or two a WWII games a year. |

1910s I guess, as the only 20C minis gaming I've been doing in ages has been Wings of Glory WWI. |
