I love Victory without Quarter!
So much so that I am thinking of using it for
Japanese battles in the 1500-1600's.
With suitable changes of course.
Anyone had the same thought?
Any suggestions? |

I'm curious what you have in mind? Samurai armies did not use combined arms core units. So, some things would be very different. I like how Killer Katanas handles activation. Sorta similar to VWQ. I just am not sold on the combat mechanics of KK. The resource info is worth its weight in gold! |

Hey John,
Not sure yet,
I just know that the command system in VWQ is quite fun, the basing is ascetically pleasing and the fighting mechanics easy to learn. We went from just a couple of people playing EcW to games of 10 players many which are newbies that have raise small brigades for the games.
I see a Japanese flavored VWQ as being a good medium to open up a new period. Especially with all the lead and plastic figs out there.
I was going to use KK as a guide for troop types.

Gentlemen, I know very little about Samurai warfare . . . but one thing you might not be aware of is that VWQ works very very well as a Solo Game . . . so you don't necessarily need an opponent if you have enough troops.

Hey Jeff,
we got the players, just need the right rules to entice them, fun and easy to pick up.
