And for those of us who never play WWII what are the other five sets?

Lion rampant
Black powder
The men who would be kings
BKC 2
Bolt action
Kings of war

I thank you

......downside, I never master anything :-)

Thanks all who have responded so far, many varied lists

Norm's comment is the concern our group is starting to have as we add more rule sets. As one of our group put it, "we make beginner's mistakes and we aren't beginners"

I should probably reveal our list

Land
1. DBMM - Ancients
2. DBA - Medieval
3. Volley & Bayonet - AWI, Napoleonic (Regiment/Brigade units)
4. Home brew - Napoleonic (Battalion units)
5. If the Lord Spares Us - WW I
6. Home brew - WW II (Company/Platoon units)
7. Spearhead / Modern Spearhead - WW2 (Battalion units), 1980-90s

Naval
8. Home brew - Age of Sail 1750 - 1820
9. General Quarters I/II - Pre-Dreadnought, WW I, WW II

Let me see,

CoC, BKC2, Frostgrave, Mordheim, Epic, Warmaster.   (4 of which have seen campaigns recently)

There are lots of fringe ones like Sharp Practice 2, Dux, Saga, Rogue Stars, Inquisitor, In Her Majesties Name, Diasho, Blood Eagle which don't quite make the cut of regular enough anymore.

Define regularly?  I regularly play lots of sets but it might only be once in 6 months

CoC
BKC2
Fire and Fury - Both
Rapid Fire
Dragon Rampant
Lion Rampant
The Men Who Would Be Kings]
AK47
Black Powder
Wings of War
Sword and Spear
Wild West ( Home brew)
Soldiers of God
Frostgrave


And often we find we are playing Rapid Blitzkrieg Rampant Commander as we forget which rule belongs in which game

I have that problem with Pike and Shotte and Hail Caesar 

Cheers

Doubly so with their "tool kit" approach where I can't remember what's different WITHIN the system let alone BETWEEN them

Rapid Fire
Bolt Action
Sword and Spear
X-Wing

In no particular order:

Sword and Spear
Bluecher
Rommel
Muskets and Tomahawks
Longstreet
Maurice
Lasalle
Grand Armee
Might and Reason
Homebrew Sudan
Homebrew RCW
Homebrew Sengoku-Jidai
Homebrew cold war
Homebrew SCW

Probably missing a few too.

It is amazing how many people don't play the same games I do. Clearly no two wargamers are the same. At least I have now found a set of rules which look as though they will play very well as a solo game' i.e. Tin Soldiers in Action.

Yes we all seem to play different games! And all play lots of different rules.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It feels that it's a bit of a problem that as gamers we are spreading ourselves too thin. On the other hand there is so much choice and availablity of different periods and rules.

Now I just need to work out how to get more gaming time and get my gaming mates to be available more too!

Lion Rampart,
Grimsby Clubs own ECW, also used for TYW etc.
Wings of War,
Victorian Steel at the authors wargaming venue in Grimsby,
AK47 Republic (both versions).

Martin

I did try to give a definition in my first post but I agree it's not simple
Our DBMM game a couple of weeks ago was the first in almost a year

We find we miss bits or get them 'nearly right' rather than adding things from other sets

Sharing this problem I going to define regularly for my purposes as something I have played more than 3 times, intend to return to and have played in the past 12 months.

CoC
BKC2
Fire and Fury - The proper one, not Regimental
Dragon Rampant
Lion Rampant
The Men Who Would Be Kings
The Pikeman's Lament
En Garde
Black Powder
Sword and Spear
Wild West ( Home brew)
Soldiers of God
Frostgrave

In the past I would have included Warmaster Ancients and I Ain't Been Shot Mum but I haven't played either of those for a couple of years now.

Osprey have done a lot to add variety to the rules I use. I'm far more likely to give an unknown set of rules a go when they cost about a tenner, rather than £30.
