English line Bill units mixed in with bill and bow in the foreground,Longbow with foot knights higher up with a reserve of cavalry
French van of Mounted knights and retainers beyond the red tower
and the main of crossbow and foot knights with a small reserve of knights and retainers
French left wing of hand gunners militia and mercenary bill
English start point
English move to stream as the french cavalry try to turn their flank
English Bill and bow wing swing round the right flank
the hand gunners try to push them back
French foot knights head for the longbows
French cavalry having forced the English foot knights to redeploy then slam into them
French crossbow didn't fare well against the longbow
Hand gunners having pushed one unit back get caught in a melee which destroys one unit
The English flank attack stalls in the wood and takes no part in the action
Bit of a theme there
French cavalry with a succession of charges grinds away at the foot knights.
English reserve moves up
French foot knights finally get to grips with the hated longbows
Fighting along the line
French left wing pulls back to avoid the bill and bow units
Who decided to camp out just past the wood
Dusk falls and as neither army was broken they pull back to lick their wounds
Fun Game
thanks gents for playing it in a relaxed manner.
We used the terrain layout cards from The Hannibal rule set to create the battle field, which threw up marshes, stream, rough hill and woods

Looks like a good sized battle for a Thursday night.
