Hello
We play Fire and Fury and Regimental Fire and Fury for ACW and I am currently investigating Age of Eagles for Napoleonics. I am wondering if anyone has had a go at adapting F and F (or any of its variants) for the ECW. I am asking because I am yet to find a set of ECW rules that I like and I do like the mechanics of F and F. Plus, I can only keep so many rules systems in my head before it explodes. We had a go at adapting Might and Reason for the ECW, but it wasn't entirely successful. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you |

Shouldn't that be "Fyre and Fury"?  I don't see why they wouldn't work, though they really are designed for a higher level game. You might pinch the command system and work out your own combat rules. |

Rich, the author, has played around with ECW a time or two. Have you checked the Fire and Fury Games website---it may have an old version of the QRS on there?? |

If you want to try a set of rules for one period for ECW it would be better to use Sword and Spear for ECW. I've found they fit the period very well. |

There was a pike&shot version of F&F published many years ago in Arquebusier – the journal of the Pike & Shot society.
That's probably still available if you contact them. |

Thank you for your suggestions. |

There is a home-brew version of F&F for ECW/TYW. Played it a couple of times at the HMGS cons. When I get home from work, I will try to find the links. |

Try the Fire and Fury Yahoo group. Cold Steel, in fact, posted the link in 2008. link |

Thanks, John. I had forgotten about posting the link before. |

Hello
Is there any chance that you could email or PM me with the content on that link? I have tried several times, but I can't get Yahoo to work for me. I am a technological ignoramus.
Thank you |

I wrote the article that was printed in Arquebusier many years ago – and then forgot about it. Many years later, I came across it in the files of a Yahoo group. In the interim, a midlands club (Monfort?) had much improved it. Since then, we (North Gower Gamers) have used it quite a lot and improved it again. You're welcome to a copy if you give me your email. |

I'd be very interested in them.

John Cold Steel has been kind enough to send me some material which may be similar to your material, but I would still be grateful if you could forward what you have to me. My email address is avaningen at rk dot com dot au I am a member of the Pike and Shot Society, but I am guessing that your article was published before I joined. Thank you |

Done. As I recall, it must have been 15 years or so ago. |
