Title: ECW: Cock Marsh
Post by: Vis Bellica on 21 October 2020, 06:47:40 PM
After the battle for Cookham Moor, the Parliamentarians have retreated in some disarray: falling back to a position where their rear and one flank is protected by the river Thames.

This protection, however, forms two sides of a potential cage, so the Royalists have hurried forward to do battle again, knowing that if the Roundheads break, there is nowhere, at least on two sides, for them to run.

Could this finally be the decisive battle that both sides have been seeking?

I really like what you're using for a mat.  What is it, and how can I get it?

I'm pretty sure this is one of Simon's gridded mats available from the Big Red Bat's shop.
