The Night attack

Act II — Resistance

Reprisals begin.
Fyrd gather.
Scottish influence stirs unrest.

Scenarios

  1. Night assault on timber fort
  2. Cattle raid interception
  3. Hostage rescue or punitive expedition

The Night attack

Robert Fitz-Ivo and his men defend the old fort at Allerdale.

The Game

Night attack.  The Cumbrians close up to the wall in deployment.

First spear group goes in, and the Normans push them off.

The second do better, killing a knight.  They scale the wall.

Getting a bit desperate.  The Normans have work to do.

The Knights beat back another two attacks, but are losing men.

One of the attacking units goes to half strength and loses half its dice 

And critically the knights also go to half strength.  

Only a matter of time.  Robert Fitz-Ivo mounts and leaves in a hurry.  It's a win for the Cumbrians. Unrest goes to -4.

He's going to have to explain to his dad why he lost both his Retinue and the castle!
