Just received an as new boxed VOR The Maelstrom game, I'll own up, this is my third copy , in my defence it was dirt cheap, unopened and after a bit of work I can probably sell on the scenery. The Growler horde grows ever larger.

It was suggested in the background article in WI. The typical make up of a force would be a bit different but nothing you couldn't handle.

WI indicated that Arcane Scenery would be producing acrylic token sets for Billhooks, I've just asked when they will be available.

So, the rules are free but you have to buy cards from WI and tokens from elsewhere.. hmm.

I suspect you don't need to buy cards or tokens.

Is there a pdf available of the rules or does it only come physically with WI - couldn't see it on their website

The PDF is free for digital subscribers. Cheaper to buy the mag than the rules alone.

There's a PDF available here (you have to choose it in 'Format'):

Edit: Buff beat me to it

The rules look strong enough to be translatable to Italian Wars, I'm looking at them for 1544 and there's a Farcebook group looking at variations.

But yes, you can easily put your own cards and tokens together. Personally I hate the acrylic tokens with anything except perhaps sci-fi, they just look too modern, so I'll used some paper prints for a play test and if the rules survive I'll make up a bunch of scenic bases for the tokens.
