	Total War - Overview
		The second Battle of Newbury was inconclusive and the Parliamentary commanders seemed strangely unwilling to capitalise on their victories.
		By late 1644, the Independents had gained the upper hand, pushing through the Self-Denying Ordinance which severed the link between peers and MPs and military command (Cromwell was exempt) and, in early 1645, they followed this up by forming the New Model Army.
		The conduct of the war during 1645 decisively influenced the long-term political settlement, and the news was universally disastrous for Royalism.

		Newbury is a small English market town on the sleepy rolling hills of the Berkshire - Hampshire borders, made famous after two decisive civil war battles; the first and second battles of Newbury (1643 and 1644).
		Newbury Town has a traffic congestion problem as the A34 road transporting freight from the industrial midlands to the coast runs directly through the town centre.
		The solution was to build a bypass road, this was built in the 1970s and now the decision has been taken to build another bypass to the west of Newbury cutting through the heart of ancient forest, the last of the forest that covered South Eastern England 800 years ago.
