Pete,

The error is mine the access was a little bit awkward to obtain.

Really thanks to Examinondas to have it solved in a brilliant way!!

Now I'll try to edit (first time I do, hoping to not create a mess) first message in order to use Examinondas link.

Cheers

Added the Battle of La Roche Derrien, fought in 1347 during the War for the Breton succession.

It is a complex battle so I strongly suggest every player to take a little bit of time in order to see Armies set up, Unit characteristics and terrain features (especially for French side: to simulate units surprised by the Dagworth night attack (I followed Burne's reconstruction of the battle), I reduced for a substantial part of the BG's one level of armour and experience with respect to what usually they have).

A word on retreat routes: I preferred to maintain the usual orientation due to the presence of the river which, in a different orientation set up, would have given an advantage to the side without the river itself in its rear.

Gladly available to answer every question should arise.

Hope you'll have fun.

Cheers

Added four battles fought during the First Crusade in year 1097 AD (you'll find them in directory Crusades, subdirectory Year 1097 AD): for those interested to play them in sequence, first to fight is Nicaea, then Dorylaeum, Antioch I and Albara. Hope you'll have fun in playing them.

SaS has contributed to refuel my old passion for this fascinating period of history, so battles of 1098 AD will follow hopefully in a short time.

Scenarios have been extensively played so they should be reasonably fine in terms of playability: however any feedback/criticism/question on design or sources will be as usual really welcome.

Cheers
