Why two polls? The list does not seem all that long. |

I wanna see more love for the Jacobite rebellions! This is a great period that has yet to be fully explored and exploited by enough gamers. You got your colorful armies, representing two diverse societies; you got your Age of Reason linear tactics PLUS a distinctly "Colonials" flavor with the Scottish clans; you got your eccentric personalities and unusual units; tricorns and wigs; tartans and bagpipes; bitter enmities and battlefield chivalry; classic mixed forces of infantry/cavalry/artillery but the emphasis on infantry allows armies to be built cheaper than the 18th century norm; ability to fight pitched battles (smaller scale than Europe but still major clashes) along with skirmish actions; and now, lots of new reference books, figures in multiple scales, and rules sets at your command. People who overlook this era are missing out on some fun! |

If you like it and you don't have the Black Powder supplement Last Argument of Kings you should find a copy. It is great for that. |

Yes, and the Beneath the Lily Banner rules allow for early-period Jacobite clashes. I am using a home-brewed variant on The Sword & the Flame rules myself (The Sword in the Heather). |
