Parliament forces will benefit from an additional infantry unit in all remaining 1644 battles funded from Excise taxes. Royalist forces did not benefit from the campaign chance card draw after they drew a card specifically for Parliament forces so their chance is neutral.

Catching up - the Royalists would seem to be at a substantial disadvantage this time, but victory in this campaign has certainly not gone to the bigger force with any consistency!
ReplyDeleteThe paper soldiers look very nice!
Parliament certainly went in with the advantage. The paper soldiers are coming along nicely. In a month or so I have to have both armies done.
