Golgotha's Games - English Civil War Stokenchurch

 Herewith an ECW game attempting to recreate a skirmish that took place in Stokenchurch. The site of the village (being on the main London to Oxford road) proved a good resting and changing place for horses. For this reason, in the Civil War, it was commonly used as a resting place for both Royalist and Parliamentarian troops. Being between Royalist Oxford and Parliamentarian London the village is mentioned no less than twelve times in the journal of Scoutmaster General Sir Samuel Luke between 1643 and 1644, and on two occasions (on 5 December 1642 and 17 June 1643) skirmishes broke out when both sides arrived at the village together.

Played as GM with my two sons and since we stayed in Stokenchurch for a number of years we wanted to play this. Game went to my youngest son winning as the Royalists with Prince Rupert managing to break a flank of the Parliamentarian forces.

Rules used Victory Without Quarter. 10mm Miniatures by Pendraken, Irregular, and Lancer miniatures.  

Turned this unit into Forlorn Hope given the number morale checks they made.
