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?

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.

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)
