Played as the French(won 29/48 to 53/41), nice scenario i had a great time. It was nice having mostly average quality troops sprinlked with a few superiors, also like the "non-traditional" oblique set up between armies (instead of the North South setup)
I decided to attack the Imperial north and central battles and withhold my southern battle. Easily caved in the Imperial center with the sergeants but my own infantry militias got pummeled in the North
Is the one Elite French cavalry unit only supposed to have swords? (charged them into some serg's and they got pummeled real bad

BTw, I didnt see the Blind King Of Bohemia in the imperial ranks(or am i thinking of a different battle?)

Again, nice work, please make more!
Cheers!

thank you
as for the blind king of Bohemia, it should be at the battle of Crecy and he fought for the French and was killed.
i find the scenario slightly favours the french side, as it should be (not so much as your victory would say, i guess you were playing against the AI)...guerin de senlis didn't really have a BG with him, was more of a hero, so to temper the effect i choosed to give his BG only swords - as you know, not every aspect can be realistic in this game

thanks again, hope to finish a second scenario during this weekend

Hehe , I was playing vs the AI
ah Crecy, I assmued BKB would have been with the Germans but maybe Bohemia was independent or rebelling at the time? Cant recall.... I believe he strapped himslef to his horse and was sent toward the enemy lines. History sometimes is much more colourful than fiction!

Methinks this would be a good balanced game for Multiplayer so I going to post an open challenge out there and see what happens!
