English Civil War: Armies
built 654 days ago
The next six chapters detail different stages of the First (1642-45), Second (1648) and Third Civil War (1649-51) as well as the two years of respite between the first and second war. These chapters give a fairly detailed run through of the war, with descriptions of strategy and deployment, how the result was viewed by the opposing sides and what their options were. As stated earlier, the illustrations complement the text and provide further insight rather than distracting the reader from the topic. What better inspiration could you have to rush out an buy an army and a set of rules than Joshua Sprigge's engraving of The Armies of Horse and Foot .. at the Battle at Nasby displayed as a two-page spread.

A civil war is a prolonged armed conflict between groups that inhabit the same state. Typical civil wars are fought to replace a government or gain concessions from the government. In some cases, the government is not a party to the conflict.[1]

Interestingly Broughton Castle near Banbury was a Roundhead supporter and although there is a building of the same name today it is not the original castle which was destroyed during the Civil War. However as it stands today it is worth a visit not least because of its wonderful collection of arms and armour from the period.
