I play most of my English Civil War Wargames using the For King and Parliament rules by Simon Miller and Andrew Brentnall. I have tried many rule sets DBR, DBRRR, Regiment of Foote (1 and 2) Charge Pikes to name but a few. However I feel the style of FK&P gives a feel to the games that I like, it plays fairly fast as being on a grid there is no measuring for movement, Ranges or command distances with a unique activation system and a diceless shooting, combat and moral system using playing cards or D10 dice should you prefer. I am very interested in how others view these rules. |

I very much enjoy them, for the reasons that you've given. |

I think they're a super set of rules. I enjoy the different unit types,i alway thought ECW units were all the same.It leads to some interesting decisions
About what type ( shooters,pike or mixed) to choose. |

Only played a couple of times, but enjoyed the games. One point that we did consider was whether it would work OK using D10s rather than cards. |

My favourite set for the period. Great rules. |

We've used both FK&P as well as his "To the Strongest!" (TtS!) rules. Like both of them but just don't get to use them as much as I'd like to. link Jim |

Steamingdave2 asked if it could be played using D10 dice. Yes it can and in fact I now play all my battles using D10 |

Hi Great set of rules. Since my group started to play them (and To the Strongest!) we tried cards, chits and D10's and much prefer D10's (and use chits during a turn to remind us of the current activation level for units). Cards all over the table really spoilt the look for us. Cheers Paul |

I like both TTS and FK&P a lot. I use big cards. Clear them off at the end of each sides move for the visuals and photos! |

I use the mdf tokens you can get from the Big Red Bat shop. |

I have played TTS, like it, I even bought a 10cm x 10cm cloth from TinyWargames(great guy). We used cards but I prefer MDF Tokens or Dice. I feel dice would add more random affects as you can predict the cards or token because you can see how many of each number have been used already |
ponders nirvana.
