This can be played either as a straightforward battle or it can be played as a "historical variation" where a "TREACHERY EVENT" might occur.

The treachery event is "triggered" as follows - if the result of the very first volley of arrows, or the very first artillery fire in the battle results in an EVEN number of casualties then Lord Grey of Ruthin and his whole contingent on the left of the Lancastrian line immediately abandon their position and march to the edge of the battlefield, because they have defected to the Yorkists (as they did in 1460). They remain at the edge of the map facing away from the action for the duration of the battle - they may not be shot at, or melee'd with. If an ODD number of casualties occur then Lord Grey's contingent remains loyal to the Lancastrian cause.

Most archer units are designated "poor" in this scenario as the real battle took place in torrential rain.

Comments and suggestions for improvement would be most welcome.
