Our ECW rules, 'Victory Without Quarter', have a few holes in them.
For example, they make no mention of Highland troops which as we have Montrose's army, is a bit of a gap.
This has been fixed but there are other troop types that need addressing. Notably, 2 of our armies have a "firelock" unit each – units without pike but armed with the slightly more efficient early flintlock muskets.
We need to tweak the stats. So far, it's been decided they should have lesser melee ability & indeed, compulsorily evade charging horse.
What else? Should ranges for their weapon be lifted? Should they get extra firing dice? Better morale? |

I would think a small increase in their firepower, since the firelock could be loaded more rapidly. Effective range would be about the same. |

Don't have it handy but someone has addressed those rules issues. Might check their FB group. |
