You were asked – TMP link Is there a period of historical wargaming which you are on the brink of getting into? In the final round of voting: 20% said "English Civil War"
15% said "American Revolution"
12% [TIE] said "1914 Western Front" OR "7 Years War" |

I hadn't seen this poll, but would have voted ECW also. (related to this, are Warlord's Epic ECW sets released) I think the company could have instead issued their ECW first, or before the other Epic periods released……those periods already being well-represented ('saturated'). My local retailer won't carry the Epic ECW line now – likely too much ACW and Nappy Epic stock yet unsold. |

Luckily, every time I think about ECW, I remind myself I don't have armies for ACW and I should do that instead. Problem solved! |

For me, the ECW may be the period that I'm most into. I have figures for it in 25mm & 15mm. I created a map of an imaginary shire, "Rumplestiltskinshire", for our mini-campaigns & I got my gaming groups in DFW, Galveston & San Antonio involved. I learned that when you're playing any civil war period a few players are willing to join in but will only play for 1 side or that they are eager to field a certain army (the ECW being a good example). |

I always like the idea of ECW, but never found a way of using infantry that felt 'right' for the period! |

Besides Colonials ECW and 30YW are top contenders. Always enjoy pike and shot. Even the later armies hold my interest ,ie Sedgemoor, 1689 Killicrankie etc. |

I do know this: no matter what size tables you use, the guy who invented plastic tables has earned a warm place in my heart. |
