Other … I have never read, got excited about, maybe even spent money on figs for, a set of rules but never played them. Phil |

I suppose that I better mark 'Hail Caesar' as I've got the starter armies and the rules but no opposition yet. x42 |

I have had Volley and Bayonet sitting on my shelf for years. Looks very interesting. I bought Black Powder after playing 2 badly run games. I then tried to run 2 more games but did even worse. |

I've had Age of Reason and its supplement since day one. Want to do a ImagiNation campaign which I have notes for and can't quite get it off the ground. |

Super System. And a ry large pile of Heroclix figures for doing historical battles like the Kree-Skrull War. Might still dust these off some day. Super System is also looking tempting now as an alternate rules set to use with the Relic Knights figures. |

Human Occupied Landfill Bought a couple decades ago. From time to time I still run gedankencampaigns with myself. Kinda sad, really. |

Any of the choices I've played at least one or two games.
But if I bother to buy figures, then I'm pretty committed and decided I like the rules. |

I've never played IABSM and from what I hear it sounds good. I just don't like to read rules so when I find a set that are good enough I just keep using them. |

I bought a LOT of rules that I never played. I see that Newbury "Fast Play" (sic) Ancient rules did not make the cut, but then I never even THOUGHT of playing it. I could only squint through it, moving my lips as I read it, in awe, |

Where in the heck can you get Tactica II? I would love to see those rules. Joe Collins |

How am I supposed to know? |

I think you could know by having bought and read the rules or read a battle report giving details on how they were played or even watched a game. |

How do you determine a set of rules you have never played is the "Best"? By one's impression about how popular they are in the hobby? |

I've got two: First are the old "WRG Wargames Rules 1685-1845". I've heard pro and con about them, but the general reaction has been somewhat favorable. Then there was a little known set of rules entitled "Palo Alto to Peking (and All the Battles In-Between!)" which was published in 1987 by one K. Wilson Brasington. It covered the period from 1846 to 1900 and also included army lists of most of the major American, European, Asian, and African nations, plus a sizable quantity of tribal groups from around the world. I don't know how many booklets were published, but I've never heard anyone else mention them. And now, with the current popularity of "Flames of War", a wargamer, if he/she had all three of these rules, could have a consecutive timeline of rules spanning 300+ years! |

Flames of War – sound interesting, I even bought some minis and painted them up – but never got around to playing and gave the minis to a friend who actually uses them |
builds a pond for his campaign.
