📖 About This Game
Winceby was the inserted game in Game Fix magazine, issue 5, March 1995.
Winceby uses the Royalists & Roundheads system originally published by 3W. It is a representation of the cavalry battle that took place outside of the small village of Winceby on October 11, 1643. This battle helped secure the county of Lincolnshire for the Parliament. Oliver Cromwell and Thomas Fairfax, important figures in the English Civil War showed their mettle in this small but significant battle,
In game terms, Winceby is a significant addition to the Royalists & Roundheads series as it introduces the new "Charge" command for cavalry units, more clearly defines the rules governing routed combat units, and includes rules for dismounted Dragoon units.
