Date: 23 October 1339 - Size: Medium - Location: La Capelle (South of Mons), Northern France
Scenario Briefing: What if - Marching southwards into France on 9th October, King Edward III with his small English army supported by Flemish and German allies, established a carefully chosen defensive position at La Capelle and waited for the more numerous French army to attack. Historically, the French vanguard approached the strong Anglo-Allied position and awaited the order to attack. However, after a bitter dispute in the French camp, the French king Philippe VI made the decision - unpopular with his nobles - that the enemy's defensive position was too strong and ordered a retreat. Noticing the French vanguard starting to dig trenches and establish their own defensive line, Edward III decided it was too risky to attack the more numerous French army and, with supplies running low, was forced to retreat northwards and abandon his invasion without fighting the decisive battle that he'd hoped for. He would have to wait some years until getting his chance at Crecy.
Recommended Rules: [Default] + No Melee Elimination
Note: Side A = French, Side B = English, Flemish & Germans
Best as the French side against the A/I, but also playable as either side against the A/I or else Head-to-Head.
