Hi All
Simon and I have just published as new scenario pack for For King & Parliament.
Marlowe to Maidenhythe contains twelve free-standing, fictional scenarios: nine in a loose chronological order and three bonus scenarios following the fortunes of the main participants after the campaign ends. I've posted quite a few battle reports from the playtesting on here over the last few months, so you can find them to give you a flavour.
The pack is deliberately designed to give players who don't have enough time to write their own scenarios a number of games that they can play with little or no preparation at all. All you have to do is print out the game and player briefings, set up the table according to the map, break out the figures and cards, and start the first turn. You don't even need to print the pack out in full: just the pages you need for the scenario you're going to play.
Marlowe to Maidenhythe tells the story of the clash between Sir John Boulters (for the Royalists) and Sir Christopher Grey (Parliamentarian): erstwhile friends now separated by their different loyalties. The same officers and units are used throughout the campaign, and it is hoped that the players will come to adopt and recognise them as their own or the enemy.
The games can be played either as a series of linked games or as a collection of one-off battles. To emphasise: each scenario is free standing and they do not have to be played in any particular order…but it is anticipated that players will play them in order as a campaign, keeping a running total of each sides’ score as they go along. The pack provides a Campaign Record Sheet as an easy way of doing so.
Finally, although specifically designed for FK&P, with a little work the scenarios can be adapted for any set of English Civil War/Renaissance rules: the basic elements of why, where and with what each side is fighting being largely common to all systems.
In the UK, the pack is available from the BigRedBat's shop at https://bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/scenarios (https://bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all/scenarios) or people in the USA or Europe can buy from Wargames Vault: https://www.wargamevault.com/product/351651/TtS-For-King-and-Parliament--Marlowe-to-Maidenhythe-scenario-eBook?src=newest_since (https://www.wargamevault.com/product/351651/TtS-For-King-and-Parliament--Marlowe-to-Maidenhythe-scenario-eBook?src=newest_since)

Excellent news!
We’ve note played FKaP for a while - but this will be a good reason to get the troops out on the table again! Especially as most of my gaming groups ECW armies came to my house for a lockdown holiday!

Nice! Will definitely be picking this up.
