Our latest ECW game was a real winner thanks to the 'Victory Without Quarter' rules we used. It was a very exciting game with constantly changing fortunes that was not decided literally until the last turn of the game.

The scenario established 3 physical objectives – a village, a crossroads & a forest path:

Additional victory points could be gained by roting enemy units.

The forces of Montrose were marshalled & ready to advance:

Opposed by King Charles' English Royalists:

The card-driven game allowed the Royalists to advance swiftly, capturing 2 objectives whilst the Scots waited for orders:

The cavalry battle on the left favoured the English:

But in the last moves of the game, Montrose's Highlanders smashed through the English, seizing an objective & routing enemy units for extra points:
