So, I'm curious, what groups of gamers and where are they are still using 6th Edition and earlier (please specify) editions?

I play 5th.

Still waiting for that rainy day when I'll be allowed to refight the same battle 5 times under 1-5 to see how much difference the versions really made !

Roll on retirement.

I play 3rd with modifications to include fantasy elements.

If this should ever make it into a Poll, God forbid, there should be no weasel-out options like "Do not play WRG Ancients". Just a straight 1-7 array.
If you do not play, why should you care?

As for me, I am limited in what my local opponents would want to play, and that would be Warrior, aka WRG7th.
I would RATHER play 5th, with the 3 dice morale tests, need to roll for impetuous (I prefer "Uncontrolled advance").

6th Edition was the last played. Own 7th but everyone here is into DB etc.

My friends and I still play 6th.

Anyone still using 1st, 2nd or 4th?

I've never seen 1-3, and own 5-7.

In the UK there are still regular 6th and 7th edition tournaments. 6th seems to be more popular or at least that is the impression I get and at the larger events there are often 30+ players.

SMC1 – the earlier editions, Versions 1-5, are avaialable for free download on Phil's website.

I last played 6th Edition (I started with 5th) at Reading (UK) in 2009 – now I've moved to Southern Oregon I've yet to find any local players – the ones I've found are DBMers.

occasional 6th player here, also have the George Gush rules for the crossover period of the middle ages.
