Wellsh, this Welsh army list seems to be before they started using bows, let alone their feared longbow. And their cavalry lack lances (though two of five do have armour - the only available Welsh armoured units!). Fortunately, the Welsh side of the map had some woods behind each flank, and a lot of rough through the centre, so, after deploying maximum cavalry and javelin men, both generals deployed half of their Brythonic foot behind the rough, and half hidden in the woods (which fooled no one).

The differences appeared on the Germanic side where one general choose good quality troops (Xbow, heavy infantry and armoured cavalry) while the other went for a lot of poor quality troops (raw xbow, lesser men-at-arms and peasants), which at least had the "advantage" of being no worse in the rough. In the end, the more numerous but poorer quality Germans were the more successful.
