As a fan of the Battles of Westeross (BoW) game I was hoping that the new version would allow for some of the battles to be resolved using BoW. So when a battle occured you would set up a BoW game using the forces from the boardgame. Any thoughts?

i dont think so. surely the lenght of the game will rise mostrously up!

and players would be forced to have a copy of Bow game also to play.

in this second edition i would have preferred to see and use similar miniatures of the BoW game instead of the "resumed ones" of the first edition.

I was thinking more along the lines of an option to set up a battle in BoW. The game would play as normal but if the player felt a battle was particuarly important they could fight it out in BoW.

No reason it wouldn't work as a house rule- work out some kind of simple conversion rate for the forces - it would make the Board game a lot more like a campaign map though- you'd probably want to play it over the course of several days, rather than try it in one sitting.

battles of westeros doesnt have all the factions and i doubt it ever would so i dont see this ever working, as nice an idea as it is for those with an abundance of leisure time.
