THE CHARGE OF SANGHEN
Narrative
French raiders strike near the village of Sanghen, suspected of aiding English patrols.
The civilians are trapped between both sides. I've deployed them to a flank, crossing between the lines, under their Priest, Father Pierre.

 |
| Found my proper Crowns cards |
 |
| The Earl of Warwick, Captain of Calais. |
 |
The battlefield, 2 x 6 French Cavalry, 2 x 6 Foot Men at Arms, 2 groups of 8 crossbow and pavisier,
|
 |
| The Earl brings 3 x 6 archers, 6 Foot Men at Arms, 6 mounted Men at Arms, and the "small folk" villagers off to a flank |
 |
| The French press forwards into the arrows |
 |
| And a counterchafge by the Earl. |
 |
| The French suffer poor rolls |
 |
| And they start burning through favours, big silver coins here. |
 |
| More French mounted charge into the melee. |
 |
| And needed yet another favour. |
 |
| But in a bloody melee the French are massacred and shaken. |
 |
| The small folk charge onto the flank of the French crossbows. Pitchforks at the ready! |
 |
| Dame Isabel and her crossbow/Pavise unit inflict deadly casualties on the Earl's surviving Men at Arms. |
 |
| The French Captain and his foot Men-at-arms are hammered by the longbows. |
 |
| The small folk do really well, Crossbows broken. |
 |
| I check the devastation of the French casualty pile. It includes all their favours. |
 |
| The French quit the field |
 |
| And three units survive to add to the French hosg for game three. |
