What ruleset do you use in your last game?

[jchaos79]

That's the question.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game?
2) What armies were confronted?
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset?
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset?

First to ask first to answer:

1) Warmaster Medieval
2) Gravelinas battle,  French Empire vs Spanish Empire
3) Ohh, yes
4) No, I 've been playing warmaster variants for years.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

1) CWC
2) Soviet Air Assault vs USMC
3) Yes
4) many times

Check report in the CWC/Scenarios etc section on the SMP forum.

1) Blitkrieg commander
2) american troops versus wehrmacht in normandy
3) very much
4) yes actually, as it was my friend who set it up and he uses bkc, i use bkc II (not much difference, but i find the splitting of AP and AT attacks to be fundamental enough to call it another rule set)

[fred.]

1) kings of war
2) elves vs orcs and goblins
3) yes
4) only my 5th game ( though this was more than the other 3 players combined!)

[Sandinista]

1) Black Powder
2) French v Austrian - Napoleonic
3) Yes
4) No, played many games using BP though mainly 18th century

1.  Rules of engagement

2.  1944 Panzergrenadiers v a Red Horde

3.  Not entirely sure as the defender I spent long periods of the game watching the horde move up on me without being able to do much about it. I also seemed to spend quite a bit iof the game inactive and having things done to me without being bale to do much back although a lot of that boiled down to some truly awful dice rolling too. I think I need to re-read the rule book and figure out how the game mechanics work when in defence to be able to understand the game better.

4.  We were both RoE virgins - so more than happy to give them another go

[Serotonin]

1. Saga
2. Jomsvikings Vs Anglo Saxons
3. Very
4.Nope, it was the last game of a campaign we were doing.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

It was teh beginning of December when I played last, bit of a shock from when I used to play EVERY week!

1) Flames of War
2) Late War Guards Churchills vs Panzergrenadiers, (quick break for a game with Grants vs a German detachment in a town mid war), then SS King Tiggers, Panzerkompanie, then finally Stuggs...
3) Definitely!
4) Been playing since 1st edition, so YUP!

Ask me again on Thursday and I'll have played Black Powder!

[Luddite]

1)  Dux Bellorum
2)  Allied Saxon & Attecotti vs allied Picts & Land Raiders (Irish)
3)  Yes
4)  Yes and they're very good indeed.  We had sorted out the rules by about 3 turns in.  Simple, intuitive, great fun.

[Steve J]

1 - Friends home grown rules.
2 - Austrians and Reiches Armee vs Prussians at the Battle of Strehla, Seven Years War. Details of the game can be found below:

3 - Very happy with the rules and they felt nice and simple.
4 - This is about the 4th time we've played with these rules and they work very nicely.

[GordonY]

Dystopian Wars
Kingdom of Brittania vs Republique of France
Reasonably, only our 3rd game so still making mistakes, but all in all it makes a terrific game for a 3 hour club night.

[FierceKitty]

1) White Man's Burden
2) British and Abyssinian, mid-to-late-19th century
3) Pretty well satisfied; small rewrite coming to prevent an undeployed column from crushing a square by virtue of great depth
4) No, they've had about a dozen actions by now.

[sultanbev]

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? my own Micro-Rules
2) What armies were confronted? 10mm c1938 British vs French tonight, last night it was 15mm WW2 German paras versus Soviets late 1943. 6x MG42 per platoon, nice !
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - yes, I wrote them 
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? c1988 in it's original form, current version about 3 years ago

Full marks to the Vickers Medium II taking a Char 2c heavy tank in the hull rear on it's 3rd hit, after having survived two 75mm hits earlier 

Mark

[Shedman]

1. Musket & Tomahawk
2. 15mm Indians vs Rogers Rangers & Settlers
3. Yes - clear and simple rules
4. Yes - and we are using them again next Monday

[OldenBUA]

1) Hail Caesar
2) Fatimid vs medieval French in 15mm
3) No, still on a learning curve (case in point, marching colums need to deploy or they will be swept away)
4) Only the 2nd game so far

Had hoped to get another game in between x-mas and new year, but didn't happen.
