No "Flames of Liberty"?
Oh wait. I haven't written it yet. |
| Mute Bystander | 09 Oct 2015 4:47 a.m. PST |
Show me the money… I mean rules… Get Cracking! |
| Mute Bystander | 09 Oct 2015 4:49 a.m. PST |
Granted, other than Chainmail (by that I mean the 1970s/1980s rules) Nostalgia is a big factor since they have not seen table time for decades. |

"Best" in my book includes criteria such as fun to play, rewards long term repeat play, and and other factors beyond just historical accuracy. |
| redbanner4145 | 09 Oct 2015 6:37 a.m. PST |
Most of my favorites, like Battleground WWII, Arc of Fire, Fireball Forward and Napoleons Battles aren't included. |
| nazrat | 09 Oct 2015 7:26 a.m. PST |
Dang, I missed this pre-poll discussion, so the BEST rules aren't on there. 8)= 1. Fireball Forward
2. Battlegroup
3. Johnny Reb III |

I chose other---Check your Six! is my vote. |
| Jamesonsafari | 09 Oct 2015 1:21 p.m. PST |
I listed some early influences, Grant, Wells, TSATF,
Tricolour because it was my first purchased rule book
F&F because it broke the pattern of B&w, 10 pt Courier typeface and laid out on a typewriter that was the norm and brought rule books into the modern era. Don't play any of them anymore except the odd game of F&F. |

Too many missing titles It is only Round 1. |

Why do I think this is a popularity contest? To do it right you would have an army of military historians pouring over all these rules. But that wouldn't be any fun. |
| dandiggler | 09 Oct 2015 5:17 p.m. PST |
Chain of Command, Battlegroup |
| JimSelzer | 09 Oct 2015 6:22 p.m. PST |
DGUTS Don't Give up the Ship by TSR |
| WillieB | 10 Oct 2015 6:46 a.m. PST |
Well, I'll wait for a next round as by chance all the rules I consider to be the best in their respective fields/eras aren't mentioned (yet?) Dux Brittaniarum, Chain Of Command, I Ain't Been Shot Mum, Donnybrook, Beneath The Lily Banners and JR III. |
| jeffreyw3 | 10 Oct 2015 8:01 a.m. PST |
Haven't played any on that list. |
| Crow Bait | 10 Oct 2015 10:38 a.m. PST |
General Quarters
Fleet Action Imminent
Fear God and Dread Nought |
| lloydthegamer | 11 Oct 2015 10:25 a.m. PST |
Chain of Command, Bloody Barons, To the Strongest, and Charlie Don't Surf should have been included in the choices. |
| Frederick | 12 Oct 2015 5:50 p.m. PST |
I like Spearhead but that may be in Rounds II or III |
