  1. The American Revolution is an unknown area to me. I own three boardgames based on the conflict. The only book I own on it is The American Revolution by Gordon S. Wood. It is my favourite by default. 😉

    • You can discount me from the contest though. I don’t own an iPad.

  3. Sounds very interesting!

  4. Scourge of War !

  5. Favorite game: John Tiller’s and HPS Simulations’ Campaign 1776: The American Revolution

  6. Milton Bradley’s “Skirmish”

    A simple, clever design that captured the “guerrilla” warfare nature of the American Revolution well.

  10. I have to say I really enjoyed the book 1776 by David McCullough. It read like a novel but had tons of historical information and insight.

  11. The Patriot

  16. 1776 by David McCullough is an enjoyable dip into the war. I do love 1775 by Academy Games. For miniatures games I’m a fan of the Black Powder rules (with the special sub-rules for the conflict).

    I routinely discuss historical gaming on my twice a month podcast Wargaming Recon. Best of luck to everyone.

  26. Birth of America by Matrix/AGEOD. Wish someone would do in iPad conversion of this.

  27. Had the most fun with a 1 page set of rules, I think they were originally written for French Indian War, but we adapted to 1776.
    Skirmish small groups lots of fun.
    Also enjoyed Wooden Ships and Iron Men with or without minis.
