Rather than spread discussion over multiple threads it makes more sense to centralise it here.
This is a basic list of the regiments and how I believe they behaved on the battlefield.
Hopton's - Experienced
Essex's - Well trained
King's lifeguard - High morale/well trained
Stamford's - Low morale. Unlucky buggers having that man commanding them.
Manchester's - His regiment was busted up at Edgehill, but went onto be one of the most succesful.
Rupert's - Impetious with good morale (as he was).
Brooke's - Nothing very amazing about this man or regiment.
Northampton's - Again nothing very amazing about them
Fairfax's - Well trained
Robarte's - Average
Rawdon's - Average
Newcastle's - Excellent morale (based on their stand at marston moor).
Trayned bands - Well armoured (wearing buff coats)
New model army - Good morale, well trained
Sorry Leonn I needed to Hijack your post as for some reason mine was pushed to the bottom - AD:
Leonns orignal post:
just as a matter of interest,would it be possible to have the entire block fire a single volly?it was a tactic used by musket,a full volly from all ranks,then club up and charge.it was used at point blank range.
