Opinions would be very much appreciated :)

I should have added that the reason I'm asking is that I'm doing a Hastings demo next year at Salute on behalf of the Lance and Longbow Society and it's getting quite imperative that I get the rules sorted out before all the painting, basing and re-basing commences.
Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated, as ever :)

Darrell, for most recent rulesets there are at least one or two overview/review articles already out there on the web.
Perhaps people are reluctant to answer because of your response to the comparison of "Sword & Spear" to DBx?
S@#t!!! That's put me off straight away!!! lol lol lol
Have a look at what fans of DBx have to say about "L'Art de la Guerre" here (http://www.fanaticus.org/discussion/showthread.php?t=17109). Chances are you won't like it either. ;)
Just a thought: Probably it would be constructive to come up with a few aspects you want to cover with your game beforehand rather than to go through a random selection of sets. This might lead to a qualified result since it's easier to assess if a certain ruleset provides the kind of mechanisms and creates the gaming experience you're aiming for.

You're quite right pf course, it's just that I'm getting, well, a little desperate as I have all the mini's to paint and base save the Norman cavalry and crossbows!
I can easily lay out the groundwork of what I'd like to see in a rule set for the Hastings demo. I'll get to it today.
BTW, My reluctance to consider DBx is borne out of experience- I've seen some pretty nasty games going on in my time including players going ape at one another..... not good.
