:-) - Viper, you are a great judge of character and a true friend :-)

So, may we quote some battles then, Agincourt, Formigny, Castillon :-) Just as a matter of interest - the French eventually beat the English through the masterful brilliance of Jean and Gaspard Bureau - French masters of Artillery. The French simply left the English in their muddy stakes laden formations and shot them to pieces with Artillery who could stay out of reach. By the way - I also tried this, but unmovable Heavy Artillery fails miserably at this. Not so cool.

Oh - and I keep on forgetting to ask this. The French had a battle group (just 1) of armoured longbowmen of very high morale and quality called the King's Scots Archer Guard. In all previous rules and even in all electronic versions of historical battles you find mention and options (limited quantity) of such archers. Should the French not have an option for a single 4 or 6 base battle group of Armoured, Superior, Longbow, Swordsmen to be King's Scots Archer Guard. Please. It even sounds cool - King's Scots Archer Guard :-)

I think quite a lot of the posts makes sense and it is great discussing - gives me and surely other players more angles and perspectives on the issue.

Still enjoying the rules tremendously. Has anybody played a HYW with mounted Cav army yet ?

There weren't enough of them to make even 1 battle group. Best include them in the King's own Command base.

"4 or 6 base battle group of Armoured, Superior, Longbow, Swordsmen"

That's pretty much my dream BG.
