This War Without an Enemy

Description

• HISTORICAL BATTLE: The game centres on the First English Civil War, when the Royalist forces fighting for King Charles I were opposed by the English Parliamentarian troops and their Scottish allies, the Covenanters, in a struggle for political, economic and religious control of England.
• CARD BASED: The game engine will be familiar to anyone who has played a card-driven block wargame, but it adds a number of innovations in order to faithfully simulate both the warfare of the mid-17th century and the unique nature of this conflict that engulfed not only England but also Scotland and Ireland.
• HISTORIC TIMELINE: The card decks are adjusted from year to year to reflect the historical progression of the war.
• ATTACK AND CAPTURE: The object of the game is to acquire Victory Points through the capture of cities held by the opponent.
• FIVE SCENARIOS ARE INCLUDED: The Full War, The Early War, The Mid-to-Late War, The Mid War & Prelude to War. All with varied turns and lengths.
