Warhammer English Civil War (2002)

About this game

This 144-page book is Warhammer Ancients' entry into the English Civil War period. Unlike the other Warhammer Ancients books, this one includes a whole new rule set. Gone are commanders rolling to give orders to units, instead, this game covering a more modern period sticks to basic Warhammer rules but makes them more similar to most Napoleonic miniature rule sets. Great illustrations with art work and photos of the Sealed Knot Society reenactments. Includes army lists for Parliamentarians, Royalists, The Scots Government, and The Scots Royalists armies.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.5/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
