Normans...Normans...Normans.....

 Unable to sleep due to the humiliation of my last defeat and not being left alone by the ghosts of William the Conqueror, Robert Guiscard and Bohemond of Antioch, I had to get my Normans out again to wipe the smug look off Ross' face. 



Mid-game- close and bloody melee.


Opening moves and early clashes. My manoeuvres are in red. 








My right flank- slamming into his archers- this time I didn't have a commander attached...and this time it worked.....I smashed them and then ploughed into his second line!

CRUNCH TIME!!





His archers thrown back, causing mayhem in his line


Waiting on my left flank



My commander sitting behind his line

A brutal melee on the extreme flank.


The charge markers all indicating who is charging who....and he has three down ( on the right) . I have five charge markers down ( on the left).

My archers firing at his infantry

My boys slamming into his



Heavy attack coming onto my flank.....they were too late to change the result....the other flank was where the decision was made.



In the end, I managed a very narrow victory- mainly because this time I destroyed his archers...and didn't risk my commander needlessly!!
