 An English Civil War variant
for Spanish Fury, Actions!
for use with "Tinker Fox", a campaign game of garrison warfare in the midlands of England, 1642-1646  ~and~ Cards for the Armies of Scotland, including Montrose's troops, as well as all of the regional forces of England (The North, Cornwall, The Oxford army, etc) 
 Very
Civile Actions!
“I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else”
-Oliver Cromwell (speaking of
the great regard in which he holds The Perfect Captain, who was at the
time wearing a spiffy russet coloured coat) English Civil War?
Why
not? We have in our group about 800 figures that had been gathering
dust for years. We used to play the ECW quite a bit in the old days,
but it had fallen out of favour due to a lack of rules we could agree
on. Yet we remembered the good old days, the days of William Brereton,
Marmaduke Langdale, the Five Members.... and then we figured, hey, lets
make some Actions cards, darn it! Since we're making cards, lets come
up with a campaign system, and lets call it "Tinker Fox". Then we can
finally get the "Battlefinder" system launched! That's how it happened.
True story! What do we get here?
OK. Even though we
only meant to make cards for the troops inhabiting the midlands of
England, we kind of covered the whole war.... except Ireland (a variant
in the future?). So, you get Northern Royalists, Cornishmen, New Model
Army, Firelockmen, Artillery, Dragoons, and both sides in the
adventures of Montrose, from Gordon Horse to Highland Archers! Further,
we made all new officer counters for you to develop those bonds gamers
love to have with their cardboard heroes. Wait, there's more! We even
redid a bunch of marker counters. We can't have a picture of a 16th
century Spaniard surrendering on our prisoner counters!!!!!! So not you
have a forlorn 17th century musketeer.  
Are there scenarios or lists?
Not at this time.
We really meant this to be used with the Tinker Fox campaign game. That
will generate battles of all sizes and shapes for you! ....and the future?
This system is soooo
expandable the sky is the limit. Watch for the Rebellion in Ireland for
starters, and then, perhaps a Thirty Years War version of Tinker Fox-
"The Huntsman of Soest"...?
