I use Clarence Henderson's "Victory Without Quarter" rules available from his "Quindia" website (also in "links")<br />They are a really great set particularly for solo play and I've worked up a quick reference sheet for the game as well as initiative cards, event tokens and such...so you could say it's my weapon of choice for ECW.littlejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469282002961211617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117993143431075280.post-47107995510049800002009-04-18T06:18:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:18:00.000-07:00Lovely painting.
