From Warlord:
The 17th Century saw catastrophic war in Europe, a conflict so savage that its like had hitherto had been unknown, especially to the civilian population. The Thirty Years War ravaged whole countries and populations, whilst the first truly national armies marched and counter marched over Europe.
Meanwhile, in Britain, the King was losing power to an aggressive, self-assured Parliament, galvanized be new ways of thinking, by religion and by personal ambition.
The two parties were on a collision course to war and when it came in 1642 caught the country unaware and unprepared. The hastily raised armies clashed many times before Parliament triumphed, then succumbed to in-fighting, before the Restoration of Charles II.
Warlord brings you all the main protagonists for both wars, Grand divisions, Tercios and whole wings of glittering cavalry are yours to command, led by gentlemen of honour whose names are remembered today, men who commanded and fought in the front ranks: Rupert, Fairfax, Wallenstein, Gustavus Adolphus, Montrose and MacColla ‘the Devastator’.
The last touches to the book have been made and now it’s down to the printers. We’ll be unleashing it at Salute in London on Saturday April 21st. You can place your pre-order for this awesome-looking book and ensure you receive it first…
As you can see from the fabulous cover, the book covers more than just English Civil War and Thirty Years War. A labour of love, written by Steve Morgan, the book also covers the Italian Wars, Tudor Wars in the British Isles and War of the Grand Alliance.
The format of the inner pages will be a familiar one to those who already own our Hail Caesar and Black Powder rulebooks – loads of eye candy to back up the rules! With 208 pages in the book you’ll be kept busy for some time digesting the rules or drooling over the photographs or beautifully painted miniatures.
You can place a pre-order for the book now. We’ll ensure your copy will leave us first and you will also receive a free miniature of the ensign artwork (as illustrated by Peter Dennis) into the bargain! The model is being finished by Wojtek at the moment and we’ll show him off in next week’s newsletter.
