It'd be great to click on a crossed swords' emblem on a battle square and get a barrage of sound effects- the way that ghostly battle sounds are reported coming from Edge Hill and Culloden:
King Charles I set out from Shrewsbury for London but the government was intent on him not making it, so they sent Essex and his men to intercept him and stop his march to the capital.
The troops met halfway at Edgehill on the southern edge of Warwickshire and almost 30,000 soldiers clashed in a bloody battle, with muskets, pikes, staffs and swords leaving hundreds of men dead.
A year later, senior statesmen revisited the site and, to their terror, they witnessed a spectral re-enactment of the battle featuring men in combat that they knew to be dead.
Since then, spooky sounds and creepy apparitions have been experienced at the site, believed to be one of the most haunted in Warwickshire.
The battle is recreated by the Sealed Knot this time - not ghostly soldiers!
The battle of Edgehill, which stands near Kineton in South Warwickshire, was the first of the English Civil War and began on 16 October, 1642.
