Here are some photos of Andrew Brentnall's splendid 12mm Edgehill game, as recently re-fought in the village of Chalgrove.
More photos are on my blog at: – link The rules are the "For King and Parliament" set that Andrew and I have been writing together, based on my "to the Strongest!" ancient and medieval set. They are coming along very nicely and I hope to publish later this year. Best, Simon |

No where near enough figs on the table! j/k, that looks amazing. Very cool. While ECW is something I have no interest in, I'd definitely play in that game. |

Between For King and Parliment and Pikeman's Lament I look forward to a lot ECW AAr's in the near future. |

Thanks for the compliments, guys. It has just about 2,000 figures in a 12ft by 6ft table. In fact this is less than half my collection, and I hope to begin work on a Marston Moor scenario before long. should be fun! Working with Simon has been excellent, and has encouraged me to develop all sorts of markers to prettify the field. The thing I am currently working on is 'destroyed unit' markers, to clutter up the battlefield a bit. Watch this space! Mollinary |

This is clearly the way to do big ECW battles. How big are the movement trays? |

Hi Robert, Warbases make these sabots to your own specifications. The standard infantry battalia ones I use have an interior measurement of 4 1/2" x 1 1/2" + a couple of mm 'windage'. This is because my individual bases are 1 1/2" squares which I set as my standard when I expected to make a Volley and Bayonet variant about twenty years ago! Some of the Parliament horse, which represent deeper formations, have interior dimensions of 3" square. Mollinary |

Thanks for the kind words Mollinary- and thanks for bringing and running the splendid game! |

I played the King's side during one of Mollinary's test games and can testify to both the beautiful spectacle of all those miniatures in real life and also how enjoyable a game 'For King and Parliament!' gave. |
