These rules were designed to fight battles of the English Civil War period using simple game
mechanisms so that a relatively large multi-player battle can be fought to a conclusion in an evening.
Having said that the rules were drafted with the English Civil War particularly in mind, the weapons and troop types necessary to fight other Seventeenth Century conflicts in Western Europe are included in Appendix I and, with minor modifications to the rules, Eastern European and other armies can be put into the field.
