Battle Of Edgehill, 1642, In The English Civil Wars
By André Geraque KifferLength1h 59m
About this audiobook
The English Civil Wars, between 1642 and 1651, were a series of political machinations between Parliamentarians - the "Roundheads" - and Royalists - the "Gentlemen" -, mainly over the form of governance in England and issues of religious freedom. The inconclusive outcome of the Battle of Edgehill on 23 October 1642 prevented any faction from gaining a quicker victory in the war. In the battle simulation we will try to correct the failures presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will see which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and with the maximum effort.
