Re: alford

Mine has only routing units ,but it was a long time ago we downloaded them. Is it worth downloading them again ?
Since Isent you the initial highlander rule i have ammended them a bit as we found they were too powerful and we've added a salvo rule for the Irish but it still needs some work.

Re: To Talk or not to Talk??

I do'nt see any reason for not talkingunless you're playing on a huge table and commands are well seperated , the only proviso I would make is that your opponents can hear what you are saying.It does'nt matter what devious plans you come up with ,it all comes down to dice in the end.

We played the game using the order of battle taken from Steven Maggs scenario book,and using six mil figures dispite my initial doubts about converting distances into centimetres they worked fine .We allowed brigade moves to start with and removed the end of turn card until thethe units came within ...

Re: Clubmen and highlanders in VWQ?

Tried the highlanders as two stands I feel it makes them too brittle,maybe two stands requiring three casualty markers or making them harder to hitwould even it out.We are going to play Alford in a couple of weeks time in six mm and because of the way they are based most of the units will be two sta...

We play it slghtly different in that hits do'nt go away if the next card drawn is an enemy firing card,it can be devastating but it does'nt happen too often, given the firing arcs.

Clubmen we counted them as raw in the open and trained if defending that way they are not a battle winner but give enough of a niusance value.In certain scenarios i've toyed with the idea of making them neutral at the beginning of the game then as the first side encounters them dicing to see where t...

I hope you do'nt change the basing configuration as one of the beuties of vwq is the regiment size as it allows the game to flow,unlike systems with large regiment which normally get bogged down with lead regiments fighting and the rest being bystanders.
