It was great to see a 15mm ECW game presented at the club. The game utilised Valour & Fortitude rules, with an ECW variant written by a club member. In this encounter, very loosely based on Ripple Field, Hopton's Royalists completely routed Wallers Parliamentarians. Nevertheless, in this 'war without enemy', both rival commanders – and lifelong friends – parleyed at a respectful distance after the battle, Waller congratulating Hopton on his victory and the fine turnout of his troops, whilst apologising for the somewhat disappointing performance of his own squadrons. Hopton wished his old friend better luck next time as they retired to their respective camps to enjoy suppers of roast mutton, washed down with the finest of fortified wines.
