Date: 22 August 1346 - Size: Small - Location: Pont Remy, Somme Dept, N. France
Scenario Briefing: Historical - After crossing the Seine, Edward III's English army headed northwards with the intention of getting across the Somme and joining forces with his Flemish allies. The French king Philip VI was determined to prevent this and, gathering forces as he marched, hastened to guard or demolish all the bridges and crossing points.
On 22nd August, an English advance guard under Godfrey de Harcourt reached the Pont Remy bridge and attempted to secure a bridgehead. However, a French force under John de Luxembourg was determined to defend the bridge at all costs. Historically, the English failed to secure a bridgehead, but would be able to force a crossing at the Blanchetaque ford two days later.
Note: Side A = French and Genoese Mercenaries, Side B = English, including, as usual, Welsh and other troops in English service as an integral part of the "English" army.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Best played Head-To-Head or as the English side against the French / Genoese A/I.
