To Topple a King!


Lines are being drawn across England, with people declaring for King or Parliament. Within the SAS Wargames Club we are starting a new ECW Campaign, campaign & battle reports will be posted to this website, along with propaganda pamphleteering by both player teams as the war progresses.

Player Teams are as follows:

ROYALISTS                                PARLIAMENTARIANS

John                                              Mat

Steve                                             Mike

Paul                                               Mark

Dave                                              Nigel

Rupert                                            Phil

Mat has been the first to muster a force in London for Parliament, under his payer character Sir William Bacon. Upon declaring for Parliament Bacon was heard to say, 

"Good people of England, we live in dangerous and unstable times. Though Parliament has strived hard to support the King, his demands and insults to the people of this noble land have compounded and piled high until an unsustainable mountain of putrid despotism is all that can be seen. The King has turned on his people and the good men of England can no longer stand by and be so abused. The standard has been raised here in London and with Gods good grace I call upon all people of conscience to muster here in London to stand against the Ogre who calls himself King. No more will the good men of England have to answer to a Despot. It is time that Parliament protects the rights of all in this noble Land."

The country awaits a response from the King's followers in Oxford.


Much of this campaign is based upon material originally published by Steven Balagan, more <here>, as ever with any wargamers, there are extensive changes to a lot of the detail!
