What ruleset do you use in your last game?

1. BKC

2. Japanese v. 14th Army. Not sure if a ruleset designed chiefly for armour action is totally suitable for a largely infantry game, though.

3. Jury's still out. Fairly simple to use, but lacks unit structure. Ideally, I'd like BKC command and control grafted on to FOW unit structure. I prefer BKC attrition rates, however.

4. Yes, but we'll give them a fair crack.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

1)   Scudbusters II
2)   SAS and Iraqi
3)   Not to begin with but do so now. Will give it another go before making a decision to continue playing.
4)   First time out and to see if it was worth cracking on with painting up some miniatures specifically for the game.

Dux Bellorum
Romano- British and Welsh vs Saxon and Irish.
Easy to understand game that was great fun.
3rd time of using with many more to come I'm sure :).

Leman

1. Square Bashing using Pendraken 10mm

2.White Russians v. Poles

3.Very straightforward rules giving an exciting game with a definite outcome, all on a 4'x3' table.

4. Third game I've played and will be using them increasingly as I move back in time into early WWI both East and West.

SeaWar: 1805
Generic forces, but pretty much British vs. French/Spanish (Napoleonic)
Not quite happy with the rules, but getting there, as this was my first game.

Played with Tumbling Dice 1:4800 Napoleonic warships. Teeny but rather nice... I just played out a simple encounter to figure out the rules. No conclusive victory, I reset the game 3 or 4 times when I got rules wrong. French seemed to be losing owing to flagship surrendering when the ship's cat was taken out by cannon fire (yes, that really is in the rules - symbolising any number of more realistic reasons for surrender during combat).

fsn

1) The FSN Omni-Rules (I use them for everything.)
2) 1940, French armour ripping into a German infantry column
3) Hell yes
4) Nope. First used about 1978. Still in play testing.

Ok, I see this still active. I'm going to summarize and reopen the question.

43 people answered, and played very very different games. I could not say there is main played ruleset.

I have to admit there are a lot of rules set I did not even to exist among the ones played. I think that if you invest time playing with them they are worth. I have to make some google search :)

Latest club game 1859:

* smallest unit is regiment/gun battery

* for French/Sardinians v. Austrians in Northern Italy

* gives a relatively quick game and subunits disappear quite quickly

* rulebook is excellent on background info, tactics, scenarios, OOBs etc.
