To Topple a King: Prince Wilhelm closes out the 1642 Campaign Season

 

Prince Wilhelm of the Rine

1642: December

And so the 1642 campaign season comes to a close with Prince Wilhelm marching his forces out of eth South West region to occupy Cornwall, leaving behind key garrisons in Salisbury & Exeter to thwart any Parliamentary designs of  a quick smash and grab in taking control of the South West without a fight!

Prince Wilhelm now has control over the only key Cornwall location - namely Plymouth which like the rest of Cornwall is strongly pro-Royalist with their sympathies.  

As ever, they have no indication of his relative strength or if the Prince has garrisoned Plymouth but as noted above the map now reflects the fact that there are know known Royalist garrisons in the South West region. It must be assumed that the Prince's army  remains in the field in Cornwall.

With the closing of the campaign season, players may now regroup and plan for the 1643 season, details will be distributed shortly.
