Battle of Cheriton, 1644 - Wargaming Scenario for In Deo Veritas
 |
| Map of Cheriton by John Fawkes |
This scenario is a personal modification of Philip Garton's scenario for Cheriton found in the back of his wargaming rules In Deo Veritas. The changes I made are to the names of the regiments and the organization of the armies, which I believe better represents how the armies were positioned, based on Nick Lipscombe's English Civil War: An Atlas and Concise History.
