I never got the first e-mail, but I did get the second one...<BR/><BR/>I allow shooting anytime the unit is given an order, including maneuvering and charging. The trade off is that shooting is very ineffective unless you are "loaded" so you need to time your effective volley. Also remember that infantry cannot charge formed infantry, but a charge may be declared, a volley fired, and then the charged carried out if the enemy is shaken. If not, the firing unit remains stationary.<BR/><BR/>No shooting back in my games. Units may only act on their card or on the appropriate order of an officer. No different than Warhammer or most other games for the period.<BR/><BR/>Melee continues again only on the appropriate card.<BR/><BR/>Some of this stuff only makes sense when you embrace the changing time scale. One round might be two minutes or ten. It depends on what happened before the End of Turn card.<BR/><BR/>All of that being said, please fell free to amend the rules so they give you the game with the feel you want. They are purposely sketchy and certainly open to improvement.<BR/><BR/>I have a long list of FAQ that I need to get to, but I have been immersed in BLB and I am staring to work on Republic to Empire. I am also painting Napoleonics again so the ECW has taken a back seat for now. At some point I will revisit VWQ and it may see publication after R2E.<BR/><BR/>Keep playing and certainly send me your comments. VWQ has not benefited from exhaustive playtesting so I welcome the scrutiny.<BR/><BR/>ClarenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30139647.post-25394199435668348512008-04-07T01:35:00.000-07:002008-04-07T01:35:00.000-07:00It sounds to me you have an excellent set up - a w...It sounds to me you have an excellent set up - a wargames opponent with whom it is a pleasure to play. I'll take at look at the rules you mentioned too.Andy Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975141756383175819noreply@blogger.com
