The first battle is Edgehill, and I have set up the battle all ready to go, I am reading some material on the battle so I can gain some historical feel to it.
I will be posting some brief AAR's and a general review of the system.

English Civil War Campaign
I have decided to start a campaign playing all the battles that are in the three volumes of Royalist & Roundheads by World Wide Wargamers, in chronological order (12 battles in total).
The first battle is Edgehill, and I have set up the battle all ready to go, I am reading some material on the battle so I can gain some historical feel to it.
I will not play all 12 battles in one go, as I will play other games in between just to use as a break, but I will keep a record of who wins what and compare it against the historical outcomes.
I will be posting some brief AAR's and a general review of the system.

Viceroys by Task Force Games
I bought this game from Ebay.
It seemed an interesting game to buy, and a slight change from straight forward conflict games.
Here is the description from BGG:

It also has rules for solo play, which is a winner for me!This wargame details the worldwide European explorations and colonizations of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The map is directly based on a "wrong" historical map. Event cards seem to cover just about every dimension of the period. The underlying game system also offers opportunity for strategy and negotiation as well as chaos. The seagoing players, Portugal, Spain, England, France, and the Dutch, each have national differences and advantages/disadvantages. This is also true for Russia and Turkey which can colonize overland. There is also provision for general European war. Multiple scenarios are provided. Also included are rules for 1 or 2 players which permit Spain and Portugal to participate as non-players.One interesting dimension of the game is the idea that each player also has a "job" within the game, from which he occasionally earns a little income. One of them was even The Rules Lawyer, in charge of resolving any disputes!
