Lets see SYW, Napoleonics, WWII, VSF, AWI, not necessarily in that order. |

The poll fits in with the most popular postings (go to the home page for all the stats).
I would have thought Fantasy far higher, but this may represent selection bias amongst those sampled…?

Science Fiction and Fantasy are a genre not a period. Historical is a genre. WWII is an era. |

No overwhelming results for any particular period and obviously a few more under the top five. |

I'm always surprised at the popularity of ACW as this is an era that try as I may I cannot find interesting. Maybe it's the uniforms, the sides and the terrain being the same all the way through? |

Hi Phil, You live in Great Britain and don't have access to the hundreds of ACW battlefields that exist in America. If you lived here I suspect you would have a greater interest. Same is true for me. If I lived in GB, I'd be full speed ahead with the English wars, Europe and Colonial.

I live in the western US, I don't find the ACW very interesting, either. Especially not after finding out Great-great-grandpa was at Gettysburg, in the 4th Maine Volunteer Infantry. Of 1440 Mainers in that Regiment, there were a total of 187 in the line at G'Burg. |

Concur with Unlucky General's assessment. Also, anecdotally, that is what I see at the cons I attend. Lots of different people running different games in different genres. Also, that's what I enjoy. :) |
