That looks really good -- I assume that you were using the Black Powder rules since they featured in one of the photos -- What do you think of them?

Great rules.
They have a really nice feel to them and the fact you can modify units to get a historical/period feels makes it brilliant for clubs with different periods but wanting a single set of rules.
We use them for Napoleonics, AWI, ACW, Sudan and now Second Afghan War.

Can they go as early as the English Civil War?

Not really... You have a problem building in rules for pikes, though people have done it and I believe Warlord Games are working on an ECW variant at the moment.
Certainly the system, based on Warmaster, will handle it once you have the right mechanism to represent pike, especially versus cavalry.
I would say 1700 is the earliest you can get away with, without having to modify the rules.
