Baroque - English Civil War.

 Well I'm still battling away with me ECW toys. After many good games with "Furioso" rules I found the rule set I originally fancied at a good price.

These rules are entitled "Baroque" and are published by Dadi&Piombo. I decided to half my unit size to suit the rules on my small table.


The rules play well with commands activating by initiative as the opposing units may react to the activating sides actions. It is all very to and fro.

There is a very good blogpost featuring Baroque here... link It is well worth a peep for anyone interested, I have found it very useful.


I discovered that I needed a couple of camps to be protected so I set to and made some today.


I've spent some time improving my terrain a bit too, I've invested in some new trees, painted my fields and had a right good time of it.






I love learning a new rules set and I reckon Baroque is well worth learning.

    1. Thanks Alan, those tents sure have seen some action since they were on the back of that "Wargames Special" magazine nearly 40 years ago!.
