League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

First of all Hi Folks,
This is my first post but I've been a fan of the rules for some time now and have recently picked them up again for a few games. Although I have an ECW army I'm keen to use the rules for the TYW too, swapping command figs and standards to make my figures Swedes and their allies while a friend takes the Imperialists.

Anyway...

What I wanted to know was does anyone have any thoughts on how to represent Swedish Brigades and Spanish Tercios using VWQ. At the moment my thinking is to group the current units together and give them mutual command and morale benefits (possibly firing too), rather than adopt a new "formation" for units. My reasoning is that the scale of the rules is really set at smaller games and therefor the units on the table already represent the subunits of a larger "brigade". Clarence also hints at something along these lines in the rules on p9 & p10

So...any thoughts?? - anyone tried something out??

Salam Emir!

Our cunning plan is to 'write' the TYW bit soon. We hope to have VWQ in the BLB/R2E style as a book probably next project. I will likely get a bit more involved with Clarence on the rules side when the TYW bit comes into play as that has always been my more dominant interest v ECW.

Excellent,
I'll be looking forward to that, please do keep me posted. Meantime I will keep the good folks here up to date with any games we manage to get going and any house rules we come up with.

A most fine and excellent cunning plan. Well done those two men who seem to have a boundless appetite for self flagellation!!

Further intelligence.....

Whilst browing at lunchtime I came across this site which kind of answers my questions on how to model these formations on the table for the moment.

I dont know if anyone's seen it before but I found it to be very well put together

VWQ like BLB/RToE ?

Yes, format wise but of course keeping the mechanics true to their origins..
