To Topple a King: Lord Cockington makes his move

 


1642: November

Delayed reports of Lord Cockington's occupation of the Welsh region with part of the forces at his disposal have now filtered back to Army Headquarters in Oxford and London. Whilst Royalist military staff are aware of Cockington's exact dispositions, their adversaries in London have no indication of his relative strength or if the pro Royalist Lord has garrisoned any location in either the Welsh or Upper Thames Valley, as far as they are concerned at present Cockington's  entire Royalist force remains in the field, albeit spread across two regions.


Strategic initiative now passes to the Parliamentary Team, where Mark acting as Sir Osborne Black-De'arth must deliberate on his and the Royalist's next move.
