With my moniker it should be ECW. 

But I'm afraid it's French Indian War.  The reason is.....  well just put on a DVD (or video) of Last of the Mohicans and inhale deeply. :D

Good call...the novel is unreal & the film [latest] absolutely outstanding; truly breathtaking...

I agree with Sandinista. Pike and shot has almost everything, and there's plently of info to guide one's painting.  But if I had to restrict myself to just two armies, they'd be SYW Prussians and Austrians, which I think gives one the most variable and yet best balanced of all.

For me, Science Fiction and the universe background would be Battletech. Why? Because it allows one to play WW1 style games, interwar/civil war style games, and allows one to have tactical developments to simulate WW2, or even Vietnam. Greatest way to disguise scenarios based on real life that I've ever found.
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.
