Overview
What ABG knows about this game
The English Civil Wars were actually a series of wars fought between the year 1642 and 1651 by the Parliamentarians and the Royalists. Battles of the English Civil War presents some of the key battles from the period 1642 to 1646, commonly known as the First English Civil War. In the game, the Player will be commanding various units, often representing many hundreds of men each, seeking to achieve various Objectives. The aim of this book is to present a clear, accessible, and quick to learn game, so that players can get into the action quickly. It does not try to replace more complex wargames which often take many hours to learn and to play. Each of the 15 Battles can be played in around 20 to 40 minutes, and each one should provide plenty of replayability due to the random set up of the initial forces. This book is a solitaire hex and counter style wargame. You play the game, and the enemy is controlled by the game book (or the Artificial Intelligence or ‘AI’). You will need at least 8, but preferably 10, standard six-sided dice. —description from the designer
