Just painted my first 20 ECW figures! And have read through the VQR rules three times. Really when one comes to wargaming for the very first time it is extremely difficult to comprehend and understand the rules of the game. I find that most rules expect the reader to have a certain amount of knowledge! Unfortunately I haven't any basic knowledge, so please bear with me if I ask silly questions.
My eventual play will be mainly solo; played out on a table 30in x 56in. It will be based on a single Royalist regiment of 700 men, horse, foot, dragoon (Sir John Mallory's, steward of Skipton castle) and Col (at that time) John Lambert's headquarters at Bradford, about 1,000 horse and foot. Skirmishing between the two my objective.
If my reckoning is correct I will need about 22 figures to represent the Royalist regiment and 32 the Parliamentary. So, my first question is am I only allowed four officer cards for the game? Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated.
