About the game

What is Hopton vs. Waller: Three Battles of the English Civil War 1643-1644

Sixth entry in the English Civil War series, features three different battles, Lansdown, Roundway Down and Cheriton, each with a separate map (in a A4 sheet) and a total of around 150 counters.

These are fast and furious battles, with very few counters and a mechanic (chit drawing for the activation of leaders) that is very good both for solitaire than competitive play.

The English Civil War battle of Lansdowne (or Lansdown) was fought on July 5, 1643, near Bath. Although the Royalists under Lord Hopton forced the Parliamentarians under Sir William Waller to retreat from their hilltop position, they suffered so many casualties themselves and were left so disordered and short of ammunition that an injured Hopton was forced to retire.
