You were asked – TMP link

So I am curious, how old are the oldest home-brew rules that you still use?

+1 mrwigglesworth, just haven't played recently.

Not homebrew, but Full Thrust still sees some action, occasionally.

Sorry, gotta say it, but no small number of us are still playing a little title from 1979--"The Sword And The Flame!"

TSATF – 1979 But also 'Before I Was a Marshal…"
genesis in 1969, still rolling on and always under
development…

Of course.

I'm sure we all use lots of old rules but the original survey was about old home brew rules.

I have a pretty rapid turnover of those.

… though the original question was about home-brew rules.

I self-published my home-brew rules, back in 1998, until 2007, selling around 150 copies, with a few international sales, even. I counted them as "home-brew", and, yes, I still play them. Shoot me quick, and get it over with, if you're gonna! LOL! Cheers!

'Before I was a Marshal…' was home-brewed and used
for 'in-house' Napoleonics for 15 years or so.

I finally told Larry he should sell 'em through Sergeants3.

Same as Sgt Slag, we wrote them so they are Home Brew.

I play rules written for acw and Napoleonics by the Steve's from 19th Century Miniatures. I really like them.
