We still use 1776, published in 1976, for AWI, General Quarters 1 and 2, published in 1975, and WRG – don't have pub date handy. |

CHARGE! published in 1967 for land battles and Fletcher Pratt circa 1930-something for naval – not sure the latter were published, I have a re-print / compilation from John Curry's Wargaming project. I do use modern rules Chain of Command being a favourite but some of the old rules give very good games. |

I try to play "Little Wars" by HG Wells with original 54 mm Britains once a year. Otherwise, it is Column Line and Square, c. 1967 |

Fletcher Pratt Navel war game (1940) is rolled once a year with 1/1200th scale ships. |

Which is the oldest AND most commonly still played? My bet would be TSATF, but that is just a guess. |
