The King raises his Standard at the towne of Scarbourgh and amasses his forces before marching across the country to reach and lift the Siege of Chester. This will be a series of games played between myself and my wargaming comrade 'S', we will be using Wofun 28mm figures and a set of rules by Andy Callan (free rules from Wofun)
King Charles the First and his escort (played by 'S'). The Royalists find their line of march blocked by the enemy and they are forced to deploy.
My own alto ego , having intercepted the King's army I am going to deploy my forces to block his progress.
The table laid out ready for the game. The blue dice delineate the deployment area for the Royalists and the red for the forces of Parliament. A fairly neutral set up a few hills on either flank and some marshy ground near the sheep pens on the Parliament right ..The forces will be chosen with the drawing of cards to find the troop types which adds a degree of uncertainty to the Generals . Hopefully the game will be played out on 'S's next visit .
