I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while. Anyway, I was thinking of a small scale, more personal/RP IH opposed to the big continent spanning nation/state ones. The goal would be that this would actually be completable and provide a more detailed setting. Basically the premise for the IH would be fairly political in character, with military action playing a distant second. It would start in 1685 either shortly after or shortly before Monmouth's Rebellion. It would mainly center around the reign of James II, his catholicization attempts and the succession. Each faction would have certain goals that it would have to meet to win. The game would end either when James is overthrown, William fails in an invasion or some other decisive event such as the recognition of the succession to James' son. Potential roles would include:
Majors:
James II
Weighs
Tories
William of Orange
Archbishop of Canterbury
Minors/optional
Ministers (I may not want to deal with that detail level it will depend on how it turns out.)
John Churchill or someone else representing the protestant military faction.
Catholic faction at the court
Dissenting religions
This is just a rough outline for now. So the question is, would anybody join if I started it?
