Interesting! It hadn't occurred to me that contagion could be an advantage in this way. I also had somehow overlooked the bit about the werewolf being able to capture by overtake with the D and A moves.

I ran a Queen vs. Werewolf test and the side with the werewolf (black) won.  One match is obviously not conclusive, but interesting.

You can play Werewolf Chess with ChessV using this include file.  And you can play Werewolf vs. Queen with this include file.  The saved game file of the battle is here.  (One of the version 2.3 release candidates is required.)
