Periods

Below is a list of the main Periods that we play at the Warlords, with links to more information and the contact details of the Period Co-ordinator. Unfortunately for some of the periods I haven't received much information, so if your favourite period doesn't yet have a link to further information you are welcome to write a piece send it to the webmaster for inclusion.

Ancient and Medieval

From 3000 B.C. to 1500 A.D. the most popular rules being used are 'De Bellis Multitudinis' but also you may see 'Warhammer Ancient Battles' or 'DBA'.

Renaissance

This is from 1500 A.D. to 1700 A.D. which is a little odd because the Renaissance happened mainly in the previous century. The main set of rules used at the club is 'De Bellis Renationus' which is also a little odd because it's not a real word, also I think some people still use George Gush's rules.

Horse and Musket

This is from about 1700 A.D. to about 1830 A.D. depending on who you ask, the most popular wars are the Napoleonic Wars and the Seven Years War. Lots of different rule sets are used in for this period.

American Civil War

This is from 1861 A.D. to 1864 A.D. in America, though we could probably include the Colonial period under this as well. The most popular set of rules for this is 'Fire and Fury'.

World War II

This generally covers from 1939 A.D. to 1945 A.D. Currently  this period is under going a massive resurgence with the 'Flames of War' rules and 15mm miniatures produced by Battlefront. There is also a small, but devoted, following for the 'Rapid Fire' set of rules.

Moderns

This is from 1950 A.D. to present and beyond, so is constantly evolving. I think the most popular rules are 'Wargames Research Group'.

Naval

This has nothing to do with belly buttons, and everything to do with ships. Ship battles from Ancient to Horse and Musket to Modern are played on occasion at our club.
