For those interested in a break from DBA, I have recently acquired a couple of sets of rules for this period that you may be interested in. The first is Twilight of Divine Right published by the Pike and Shot Society. These have an interesting mechanism in that there is no combat and shooting as such but the passive unit takes a morale test if they are in range of shooters or contacted by the enemy. More complex actions than moving straight ahead tend to require an activation test. There are also two scenario supplements for ECW and 30YW battles. They are well supported by a Yahoo Group.
The other set of rules is a Spanish set (in English) Liber Militum Tercioos. There is a free lite version available on the web.
Both rule sets cope with the different sorts of formatios such as early tercios, tercios, Swedish brigades etxc and the various types of cavalry.
Still to play them and there is quite a lot of you google search them.
Simon

I have just ordered these. At the moment my chosen rules for the English Civil War are "For King and Parliament". But these sound promising.

The rules have arrived and I have now read through them a couple of times. They seem clear and to be quite fast flowing. I am not sure they will have the flavour of the ECW but as soon as my ongoing game of "Cruel Necessity" is finished I will give them a whirl and report back.
