In 1642 the long standing problems and disagreements between the Monarchy and the Parliament came to a head. England slipped into civil war. Ireland was already near anarchy. Scotland would follow. A decade and a regicide later an uneasy peace again settled over the British Isles under the hand of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector.
This is a graphic update of the classic Simulations Canada game designed by Stephen Newberg and originally published in 1984. It is medium-complexity, strategic-level, with quarter-year turns and a large-hex map that covers all of Britain and the eastern half of Ireland. Special rules cover political infighting, religion, leaders, the navy, and much more. There is a grand scenario covering the whole war and four shorter ones. One sheet of 200 small-size half-inch counters. Playable by two, three or four, easily adaptable to solitaire.
