Sir Bevill Dedge and Sir Osborne Black-D'eath discuss next moves on a bench beside the Thames in London |
1642: November
In a somewhat expected response recent moves by the Royalists in Wales, attention now switches back to the Parliamentary cause and the opening gambit to be played by the Sir Osborne Black-De'arth, who is being steered by Mark through out the campaign.
Sir Osborne opts to move his forces out of London and boards friendly naval vessels and they are transported to the Lancashire region.
Sir Osborne now has control over the key Lancashire locations in Lancashire - Carlisle, Hulme and Preston, which are neutral but wiling to help the Parliamentary cause.
With this move their have been clear noises coming form north of the border to indicate that the Scots Covenanter Government is actively considering raising a force to intervene in the Civil War raging south of the border...
As ever, they have no indication of his relative strength or if he or Sir Osborne has garrisoned any location in the Lancashire region, as far as is known at present the entire enemy force remains in the field.
Campaign initiative now returns to the Royalist team and it loops back to Steve who controls Prince Wilhelm of the Rine, who is currently based in the South West region of England, after this move the Campaign move son to 1643 and a potentially more active phase as all 'free' regions are now taken.
