Date: 21 October 1345 - Size: Small - Location: Auberoche, N. Aquitaine, France
Scenario Briefing: Historical - The English general, Derby, had arrived in Bordeaux with a small Anglo-Welsh force on the 9th of August and had then spent several weeks assembling allied Gascon troops before launching a surprise attack on Bergerac, the major French garrison town of southern Périgord. The capture of Bergerac was an unexpected success, but Derby lacked sufficient troops to also capture the provincial capital of Périgueux.
Meanwhile, the French, under Louis de Poitiers, concentrated their forces and launched a counter-attack, laying siege to the castle of Auberoche. To relieve Auberoche, Derby would make a surprise attack on the more numerous French besiegers with his small army.
Recommended Rules: [Default] - Isolation Rules OFF. Also recommend Rout Limiting ON if playing Head-To-Head or wanting a more challenging game against the French A/I
Note: Side A = French, Side B = English, including, as usual, Welsh troops in English service as an integral part of the "English" army.
Best played as the English against the French A/I or else Head-to-Head.
