Assuming you mean periods?… Star Wars.
Arab/Israeli wars.
WW2, land and naval (coastal forces).
WW1 Air.

Seven Years War / French and Indian war.
Samurai (16th century).
Dark ages/Medieval. er, I think that's it. |

I'm not touching this. When we're done defining "era" (or "period") we'll be left with figuring out what constitutes "regular play." |

Anglo-Zulu War

I pretty much game everything, which is part of the problem- too much interest, too little time, and now too little space.
