I like Ancient Europe (Greece, Rome) etc. Don't let the skirts fool you-these were tough warriors in face to face combat.
The other period I really like is 16th - 17th century Europe and Japan (Sengoku Jidai, the 30 Years War, the English Civil War, The Great Northern War ). Once the Age of Reason kicks in I loose interest.
The War of Succession in the US is pretty intersting, as is WWII, but once it gets all push button and nukey I nod off.
Always got a soft spot for the loosers / underdogs and I used to tablegame with ancients and pike and muskets (DBM / DBR ) in 1:72 scale (25mm), my favorite armies being Diaodochi and Montrose's Royalist Scots respectively.
