You were asked – TMP link Curious, of all the Osprey Publishing rulesets, which one is "best" overall, considering all periods and scales? And in the final round of voting… 25% said "Lion Rampant"
16% said "Bolt Action"
14% said "The Men Who Would Be Kings" |

Isn't Bolt Action from Warlord, not Osprey? |

The most recent books have both Osprey Games and Warlord logos on the covers. link |

I still fail to understand why Xenos Rampant wasn't included in this survey. |

Mark, It was not out at the time of that original question was asked. I feel that Xeno would have beaten Lion for the best set. |

I am willing to bet the Osprey game series Undaunted may trump all of these in terms of sales. It probably wouldn't fit the list however because it sold as a boardgame, not a miniatures ruleset.Some of my boardgame friends like it better than Memoir 44, which has quite its own following. |

Lion Rampant is great, and gave birth to a host of popular spin-offs. But for every Rampant success there's a Broken Legions or World Aflame….. |

Not so long ago Frostgrave would have won easily….  |
