Gentlemen,
Back in '08 we played a couple of games of VWQ and Clarence was kind enough to comment on them (as
Anonymous). However, not having any ECW troops, we used some earlier Pike & Shot armies that I had lying around unbased . . . so I based them for VWQ and we fought two battles.
The first was a "civil war" battle from the past of Murdock's fictional Imagi-Nation (Mieczyslaw). However, at his insistence, we misplayed the rules in that he felt that opponents MUST get to shoot back when fired upon.
I didn't agree . . . and the second game (against Pete) played much better when we played it as written. This second game, by the way was nominally a battle between Pete's Duchy of the North and my vile invading Stagonians.
As mentioned, Clarence's comments (as
Anonymous) do to my mind help clarify some of the rules. So here are links to my blog accounts of these battles (

Murdock (from battle #1) took lots of photos and wrote his account of the battle on his blog. The specific link is below (and, again, click on photo thumbs for larger photos):

I apologize for not having ECW troops, but I think that I made some reasonable substitutions . . . and I know that we had fun.
