1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Black Powder II with the Glory Hallelujah supplement.
2) What armies were confronted? - Union v Confederate ACW.
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Pretty much
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No.
5) How many players were in the game? - Two
6) What went well? - Shirley Wayne whizzing across the table and the Union (Dave) command rolls. The Confederate shooting was pretty good.
7) What could have been improved? - Not rolling a Blunder at a critical point could have helped my cause, plus Butler's cavalry not moving far enough away from Wayne's cavalry, which didn't end well.

It was Wayne's World last night indeed. And still don't call him Shirley.

4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - no
5) How many players were in the game? - 1 vs 1

[mollinary]

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - My playtest 18th century version of FK&P, Pro Gloria
2) What armies were confronted? - Prussians v Saxons Kesselsdorv 1745 2nd Silesian War
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - yes
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - no, the second with the variant, but a couple of new ideas
5) How many players were in the game? - 6, plus 1 umpire
6) What went well? - Players picked up things very quickly, and required very little umpiring. Good natured and great fun
7) What could have been improved? - My umpiring, as I kept forgetting the basic FK&P rules!  Prussians won 60 medals to 39, which made it hard fought.  Heresy alert, the armies used were my old 15mm figures. My new Pendraken 10mm armies await the first playtest of the regimental version of the rules, Leuthen.

6) What went well? - The charges by the Crusader Knights and survival of the out numbered Byzantine Light Horse
7) What could have been improved? - The Christian deployment, the Cilician Armenians never got into combat, they did provide an overlap in that last combat of the game - shooting by the Crusader & Byzantine Bow and Crossbows, 3 elements died in shoot outs

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Rum, Buggery, and the Lash
2) What armies were confronted? - British vs Allies
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - No. Unfamiliar, and problems emerged at every turn.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - Yes.
5) How many players were in the game? - Four
6) What went well? Nuttin'; saving rolls for ships under the right circumstances are a good feature to retain.
7) What could have been improved? -Gales shouldn't blow up easily; the outscouted fleet shouldn't be in an upwind position; fleets should begin on the table; faster movement and longer ranges (a bit) should be possible. Above all, the rules must not allow endless jockeying for position (captains might try that, but these rules are aiming at having the players take admirals' decisions).

aiming at having the players take admirals' decisions

I'm interested in seeing how these rules evolve

My mistake entirely - some chump has been posting in "What was the last ... 2019".     

[Last Hussar]

7) What could have been improved? - Everything - Last Hussar won ........WITH AUSTRIANS ........AGAINST THE FRENCH!!!   

I still think this thread should have been locked after this.  Nothing else matters.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Black Powder II with the Glory Hallelujah supplement.
2) What armies were confronted? - Union v Confederate ACW.
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Pretty much
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No.
5) How many players were in the game? - Two
6) What went well? - Shirley Wayne and his cavalry played a starring roll as always. The scenario was the best so far, but still a tough one for the Rebs. The 'Whipped' rule worked well.
7) What could have been improved? - Gump's Brigade rolling two Blunders, one of which took them off the table. Shooting wise it was lots of Disorder and not many hits until towards the end.
