Time for a practice game with Curtus who was running my Teutonic's as 100 Year War English in what was very much a learning exercise for him.
Out scouted, the ersatz English decided to spread themselves out.
There is a low hill in the centre and some difficult terrain on the right.
Some of the English advance.
The Burgundians get ready.
The Burgundians start shooting.
The Burgundians keep shooting but to no effect.
A unit of English archers change their mind about going into the difficult terrain.
The English "billmen" (pilgrims on a better day) bravely advance.
Burgundian knights get ready.
First kill to the English as they overrun some Burgundian artillery.
However, the Burgundian pikemen strike back.
The Burgundians start to move forward
Having despatched the billmen,
the Burgundian knights crash into the dismounted English men at arms.
The victorious Burgundian knights continue forward,
while the rest of the Burgundian army tries to get into position to help them.
The Burgundian knights charge the English archers on the hill.
It's a gamble, but better than standing around being shot at.
The English archers are mauled, but the knights fail to follow up.
The situation on the right is developing, but it is too late.
The Burgundian knights finish the job and the English morale collapses.
Their commander makes a last minute charge but fails to make contact.
