Good stuff. I think the secret to attacking the longbows is rain and combined arms. Especially infantry that can tie upthe longbow sothe knights can get in.

The answer of course is a combined arms defense and having half the battlefield with longbow and half the field with dismounted heavy weapon foot makes the army vulerable.

When you roll 9d6 that each hit on a 4-6 and only get one hit.... it's raining.

Great reports, Hepius. I always get so wrapped up in the game that I forget to take photos. If I can ever get tat sorted out I will try to write some AARs as well.

Interesting engagements and nice visuals. Wet bowstrings . . . such a pain.

Nice AAR, Thanks

I like the ROUT markers , what are they made of ?

The giant ROUT markers were provided by my partner, Steve Payne. They were just heavy card stock that he wrote ROUT on.

I guess Steve likes to loudly announce to the world that his units are fleeing in terror. I prefer to be more quiet about it.
