Pirate Royal - Prince Rupert in the Gambia - Campaign complete
It took over a year to complete but simulating 31 days in 1652 through wargaming scenarios is done. Prince Rupert's odyssey taking the small Royalist fleet through trials and tribulations from its origin in 1648 to its demise in 1653 is an incredible tale. We took one month from the 50 or so and made a campaign out of it.
Four battered ships arrive off the mouth of the Gambia river on March 1st 1652 in search of income sources to continue the struggle against Cromwell's Republic. What they get is a rollicking adventure on land and sea involving sea battles, politicial intrigue, murder, jungle forays, deadly fauna, native armies, pirates, slavers, disease, shipwrecks and treasure.
