For many years, George’s Nafziger’s collection of orders of battle for conflicts dating from the 1600s to the 1900s have been a mainstay of the historical wargaming community.
Once available only commercially, Nafziger recently donated his collection to the Army’s Combined Arms Research Library.
The actual files are available as pdfs here. But as they’re numbered and not named, you’ll also want to consult the finding aid here. And a search function.

Edgehill is a free English Civil War boardgame available at Wargames Downloads.
This is an easy, introductory game on the first battle of the English Civil War, based on a system derived from the old SPI Thirty Years War system, modified with the introduction of a chit drawing leader activation procedure that makes the game different each time you play it and perfect for solitaire play. Easy to understand and fast playable (less than an hour), and full-color map (with the position of the different units printed on the map for an immediate set-up).
Contains:
11 x 17″ full color map (2 – 8.5 x 11″ parts)
113 full color counters.
Rules in English and Italian
