For miniatures games I prefer rules that are simple,fast and give me a good game experience. I have been a fan of the "Rampant" series by Daniel Mersey since I first played Lion Rampant, now I own "Lion(Medieval),Dragon (Fantasy), Rebels & Patriots(AWI, FIW etc)"and now" TMWWBKs (Colonial). I also own his "Dux Bellorum" rules.(Totally different rules system but still excellent).
