Mine was 1985 - JL Carr: The Battle of Pollocks Crossing. I quite enjoyed it - im not counting any book i outright disliked in my version of the rules - it felt a bit derivative but I still both enjoyed it and remember it

I think I got a year for every one up to about 2019 or 2020 but I need to check again as haven't looked at this for a long time and revise my missing years!

Finally finished the 70's yesterday. Some headway made on 80's and 10's too, but still a long way to go.
