Scenario Briefing: Variant - After capturing Rennes, a 5,000 strong Franco-Breton army under Guy II de Nesle advanced towards Brest intent on the subjugation of Brittany. To counter this threat, the experienced English commander Walter Bentley joined forces with Montfort-supporting Bretons under Tanneguy III du Chastel. However, with perhaps less than 1,500 men, having crossed the Doueff river, the Anglo-Bretons adopted a defensive position and awaited the arrival of the enemy. Nesle's army arrived in late afternoon and launched a direct attack on Bentley's outnumbered force. The mounted French troops suffered particularly heavy losses from the defender's archery and, despite fierce fighting, the death of Nesle routed the French army.
This 12 turn variant scenario has a slightly different location for the battle and assumes that the English had time to dig in before the enemy assault. Also the English force is slightly stronger.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Note: Side A = pro-French Bretons, Side B = English, including significant Welsh and Gascon forces in English service as an integral part of the "English" army.
Best played Head-To-Head or as the Breton side against the English A/I.
