Forces beyond your control burns your rulebook collection down apart from three little blue books you managed to grab in time. What did you save and why?
-
Just Blue Book titles?
-
Rebels & Patriots, Outremer, Dux Bellorum not in this particular order:-)
-
I only own En Garde and Pikemans Lament lol
-
Only 3? :D
Ok, in no order: In Her Majesty's Name, Pikeman's Lament and Ronin.
-
Zona Alfa, Pikeman's Lament and Dragon Rampant.
Edit: and the why is because I know I have a good chance of playing these in the near future.
-
Zona Alfa, Of Gods and Mortals, Broken Legions (in no particular order)
-
In her Majesty's Name, Of God's and Mortals, Zona Alfa
-
I have a few, but honestly none, I would save my original Rogue Trader, and the red and yellow compilations :-* lol
Osprey nice for ideas though.

-
lion rampant, dragon rampant, black ops
-
Lion Rampant, Dragon Rampant, Rebels & Patriots.
Although presumably as this fire is going to destroy all of my figures...
-
Interesting that everyone has answered with rules rather than the blue “Men at Arms” books. I wouldn’t take the personal risk to save any of the rules. May save some of the MAA books, particularly any out-of-print with the superb Angus McBride plates.
-
Fistful of Kung Fu, Of Gods and Mortals and Dragon Rampant. With those, I could use all of the miniatures I own. Oddly, while I love all three of them, Fistful of Kung Fu is both my favourite and the one I've played least - something I must remedy!
-
1)Definitely Rebels & Patriots (Got my long suffering ACW & AWI & Indian Mutiny on to the table)
2) The Napoleonic Naval one, forgotten its name. (Gives a fun game & doesn't strain my brain)
3) Either Lion or Dragon Rampant. (once again fun simple rules)
-
Lion Rampant, Black Ops & The Men Who Would be Kings.
-
1) Lion Rampant, 2) The Men Who Would Be Kings.
I am not sure on the third because I have not played enough.
-
1. En Garde
2. Rogue Stars
3. A Fistful of Kung Fu
-
1. En Garde
2. Zone Alfa
3. IHMN
-
1. En Garde! For those melee skirmish games. It can be easily tweaked to allow for fantasy battles, too, which would allow me to continue using half my collection of figs.
2. Black Ops Because it allows for modern and with a bit of tweaking sci-fi skirmish games.
3. Despite already saving item 2, if it happened today I'd grab Rogue Stars because I paid for the darn thing and haven't played a game of it yet!
That leaves only Gaslands on my shelf to suffer the flames. Sorry, friend. You're just too complicated for serious solo play. Via con dios.
-
Dragon Rampant, Fighting Sail, and Rouge Stars.
-
It's interesting to see Rogue Stars appear so much. I was under the impression it wasn't well received.
It's also looking like Ronin/En Garde is taken the most to cover skirmish games and Lion/Dragon Rampant for army?
-
OGAM
TMWWBK
Dux Bellorum
Not necessarily in that order
-
Gaslands (which I haven’t seen much mention of yet)
IHMN
TMWWBK
-
Men Who Would be Kings
Rebels & Patriots
Dragon Rampant
I think Daniel Mersey's style of game must resonate with me.
-
I don't own that many of their physical books.
Ronin, Of God's And Mortals, and Rogue Stars are the three I have as books. There's a lot more on my tablet...
-
It would be interesting to make a Poll of this.
-
As they are all still available and cheap as chips I wouldn't take any of them with me in case of a fire ;).
Having said that, I only got a couple of them and never played one so it would be Rogue Stars, In her Majesties name and Ronin, just because I like the settings and the many possibilities miniatures wise.
Edit: If hardcovers do count aswell then I'd take Dracula's America and Ragnarok with me, together with Rogue Stars.
-
En Garde, Fighting Sail, Honours of War.
I've played Lion Rampant and TMWWBK quite a bit but I'm not a big fan. Own and played Seven Seas and it is not a good set. I own Dux Bellorum, Pikemen's Lament and Rebels & Patriots but not played them.
-
Rebels and Patriots
Lion Rampant
Honours of War
Not played the first two yet but really want to soon.
Played HoW a fair bit and they are a great set for SYW and possibly AWI with some adaptations.
-
In Her Majesty's Name, Heroes, Villains and Fiends and Sleeping Dragon, Rising Sun.
Gotta keep the set after all. ;)
-
Must admit, those I have bought I have mostly then offloaded again. Just can't get into any of them. I would save Rebels & Patriots though.
I thought I had En Garde, but think I must have sold it on here, which is now a bit disappointing.
A World Aflame I keep trying to sell, but now I don't know where I have put it. I have definitely had and sold Outremer, and likewise I think I have sold Lion Rampant, or else keep trying to!
