All of it, my personal library is about 50% history and the rest is all over the place. But any of the time lines you posted are great.

Napoleonic for me. Great looking on the wargame table, be it land (especially the Polish Lancers) or sea (all nations).
You missed the European Medieval Age (500-1500)
Through my life i was interested in
Napoleonic Area
Medieval Age
Ancient Rome
Ancient Greece
Byzantium
Medieval Japan
Ancient China
WWI
WWII
30Year War
100 Year War
Mesopothamia
Egypt
etc
Definitely the later European Dark Ages into the War of the Roses.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many choices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a headache now just thinking about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm from Florence and I can't vote anything but Renaissance!!
Marco
I can only agree on your choice given the importance of time and your location in Italy. An obvious question: whose side do you usually play: Guelphs or Ghibellines? :D
Florence, Florence...Marco! So we have something in common;)
Do you know, that the Town Hall in my home town, Opole, was built to resemble (a bit) your famous Palazzo Vecchio? Have a look at it's recent shape reconstructed in thirties, XX:

Well I've been in reenactment for twenty years now , my period that I recreate is the medieval period from 1066 - 1403 , I'm now joining the War of the Roses period with my group and I'm going to be investing in more plate armour next year , more metal to try to keep rust free lol.
I can't believe I was the only person so far to include the Edwardian period as a favorite era!
I know were looking at the world, but I'm American Civil War nut...
Just voted in the poll, and voted Napoleonic, but would have voted ACW if it was there.

The Middle Ages. There is much literature/mythology from that period or drawing upon that period that tell stories of virtue, sacrifice, and loyalty in the face of evil. For a modern appropriation, one needs only to look at Tolkien.
The Second World War for lots of reasons including:
the MG42.......
Attachment 71462
the Panzerfaust............
Attachment 71463
and armoured fighting vehicles of all descriptions

- Rome for their numerous war campaigns ;
- Middle-Age for the Viking Raids and The Crusades ;
- WW2
Thanks Eric. If I had the time I would. These pictures were taken at the annual Fort Lytton Living History Weekend - 'Army Group South' is the local WW2 re-enactors group concentrating on the Eastern Front. The young man in the photos is my boy Alexander, who also plays the odd Wings of Glory game.
world war 2 for me :thumbsup:
World War II for me, Pacific theatre.
been a student of ww2 (as well as ww1) for most of my life since the age of 8
I love WWII history.
What I didn't see listed were 1) American War for Independence 2 ) American Civil War 3) French and Indian War (as distinct from the Seven Year's War). All periods I enjoy wargaming.

Probably included under the Industrial Revolution (Europe, United States, elsewhere 18th and 19th centuries) banner Bill.
Good periods all, along with the war of 1812...:slysmile:
So do I Bill.
I even re-enact the AWI.
Rob.
Been doing the Medieval thing for 30 plus years so have to stick with the Viking era. My SCA Persona is a 11th century Saxon and have been making Chain Maile armor for almost 40 years. Napoleonics/WWII Afrika/Zulu wars tie for second.

Elizabethan period brought us:
Shakespeare
Toilets
Civilian Police Force
You and the family can finally go to a well written play without stepping in shizzle* and being roughed up by military police. A bonus to this Renaissance of attention to public health and safety was the diminishing of plagues.
