I have been thinking how I might play ECW using a variation of the Warband rules.
Just checking here to make sure no one has beaten me to it...?
Not sure on that one, Andy. :-\
Anyone ?
Cheers - Phil
I think you are safe on that one Andy :D
We've used Warband for historical ancients games - it works fine without the magic etc. but we found the troop types a little 'vanilla'.
However with ECW your range of core troop types is pretty limited - so it should work.
Were you thinking of having Pike & Shot formations as a single base?
Hi, yes if just for the visual effect as much as anything i had combined pike and shot units in mind plus independent commanded musket units.
At the moment this has got no further than a few vague thoughts in my head.
Out of interest why are you looking to adapt Warband vs using a system designed for ECW such as For King and Parliament? Just favour the rules?
Well I like the large bases from warband, although I realise that big bases are used in other rules.
My small brain struggles to remember too many rule sets so that is another excuse.
I don't know For King And Parliament but I will investigate.
Cheers, Andy
I would also recommend FK&P, they have a great period feel and always give a great game
I do understand the challenge of trying to remember too many rulesets, but keeping too many variants straight can also be a challenge :-\
Yeah FK&P works with single bases. paulr above has done some great battle reports with it.
