It may just be that English isn't the developers first language.

It isn't. It could have been done better as has been pointed out.

Can anyone recommend any other historical sites for the 'The English Civil War' and any recommended reading? Do we have any re-enactment participants here...

This book isn't bad:

https://archive.org/details/PhilipJ.HaythornthwaiteTheEnglishCivilWarBookFi.org

The English Civil War 1642-1651: An Illustrated Military History by Philip Haythornthwaite.

It can be read online and downloaded in various formats.

Hi. Will there be a version coming out on Steam? I've had a look in the Steam store and I can't see it showing up as yet.

Montagu's force appears in the game - e.g. part of Fairfax's army at Northampton in June 1645.

I was a Civil War re-enactor for a short time when I was at college. I was a pikeman with Montagu's Regiment of Foote - part of the English Civil War Society (Link). Re-enacting was fun. Like rugby with spears and helmets. [:D]
