The Club is running an ECW campaign based on the Pike and Shotte rules. It is based in Ireland with multiple fractions vying for control of the counties.

There are the Irish Confederates  under the commands of MaColla, O’Neil, and Preston together the Irish Connaught under Tuchet.

The Scots Covenantars under Lord Levan have landed in the North of Ireland and linked up the with the Covenantars of Londonderry under Robert Munro.

The Royalist of Cornwall under Hopton have landed on the west coast of Ireland whilst a seperate force of Royalists under Lord  Ormand occupy the land around Dublin. Montrose has landed north of Dublin.

Parliamentarian forces under Inchiquin control Cork and the surrounding counties.  A second Parliamentarian force is at sea, and no one knows where it will land.

There is also a Papal Legate with troops, supplies and money in Ireland and King is in England but contactable.

Each player has received an overall briefing and we are in the initial stages of planning our first moves.
