A true and accurate image of the Marquis Ambrose Burnside marching his troops into the East Midlands Region |
1642: August/September
In response to yesterday's opening moves by each side attention now switches back to the royalist cause and the opening gambit to be played by the Marquis Ambrose Burnside, who is being steered by Dave through out the campaign.
Burnside opts to move his forces out of Oxford and occupies the East Midlands region with his entire force, thus securing the neutral region and its equally neutral locations of note - namely Bedford & Cambridge.
As previously noted, enemy leaders in London soon become aware of Burnside's movement - they have no indication of his relative strength or if he has garrisoned either location, as far as they are concerned at present the Royalist entire force remains in the field.
Strategic initiative now passes to the Parliamentary Team, where Sir Sir Philip Johnson s cogitating on his first move.
