I have made scenarios for the following battles . . .

Cadsand 1337, Auberoche 1345, Crecy 1346, Mauron 1352, Poitiers 1356, Cocherel 1364, Auray 1364, Najera 1367, Montiel 1369, Pontvallain-Vaas 1370, Atoleiros 1384, Aljubarrota 1385, Valverde 1385, Cravant 1423, Formigny 1450 and Castillon 1453.

In addition there are scenarios for Roosebeke 1382, Agincourt 1415 and Verneuil 1424 included in the game itself (although I will be looking at each of these in due course).

I have not made scenarios for the following so far (reason in brackets) . . .

Calais 1346/7 (siege), Comborn 1353 (small battle, no details), Montmuran 1354 (small battle, no details), Valmont Raid 1416 (series of skirmishes that lasted three days), Rouen 1418 (siege), Fresnay 1420 (ambush and rout), Bauge 1421 (one-sided rout), La Brossiniere 1423 (ambush of wagon train and lots of cows!), Orleans 1429 (siege), Battle of the Herrings 1429 (ambush of wagon train), Jargeau 1429 (assault on town), Meung-sur-Loire 1429 (assault on town), Beaugency 1429 (assault on town), Patay 1429 (one-sided rout), Gerbevoy 1435 (siege), Avranches 1439 (one-sided rout), Harfleur 1440 (siege) and Rouen 1449 (siege).

If anyone has any more details about some of these battles or thinks that they are worthy of reconsideration by me for inclusion into the series then please let me know. The Valmont Raid, Bauge, La Brossiniere, the Battle of the Herrings and Patay were given a lot of thought by me before I decided not to proceed - one problem was the one-sided nature of some of these, another was the need for lots of wagons, baggage trains and cattle which are difficult to handle in a scenario because they melee and lose morale too . But sieges and assaults on towns are obviously something that FOG cannot really cope with at the moment.

Lets hope they put buildings and castles ,keeps etc in map`s , so we can have some good sieges, etc, thanks for all your work its very good and we all enjoy it, J Sumptions, Trial By Fire , 100yrs war book two of Trio is very good if you havent read it,

Thanks very much, macnab. I am aware of Sumption's books but I have not read them. I know that they are very detailed so I will try and get them from my local library in due course.
