Excited because...

...I'm getting P&S for Xmas tomorrow.

Have waited *so long* for a decent C17th game.

Feel like a kid.

I'm 42 .

One of the nicest things about wargaming is that it brings back the simple pleasures of childhood for many of us! Hope you enjoy the game, I'm pretty sure you will

It certainly is

Have only had chance to play this evening. Completed the four tutorials (fourth one took me a few attempts!) and have thoroughly enjoyed my first ECW "Skirmish".

Are the three campaigns intended to be played in any order, or is there an inherent difficulty progression through the three historical periods?

Not really, the battles are mostly in chronological order, and their difficulty is based on the historical situation. They do start with smaller numbers of units in the first scenario, hence the Edgehill scenario was taken out of chronological order, and the Stratton ECW scenario was designed to be fairly easy.

Thank you for the reply.

I'm mildly obsessed by the ECW, but I'm going to leave that 'til later I think and tackle one of the other periods first.

Congratulations on a first class game .
