Date: 27 August 1346 - Size: Medium - Location: Ligescourt, North of Crécy, Picardy, France

Scenario Briefing: Hypothetical - This scenario is a rearguard action at Ligescourt, with a portion of the English army attempting to hold off the French cavalry while the baggage train gets away. The heavily outnumbered English troops will then have to make a fighting withdrawal before the weight of the whole French army can crush them.

This is taken from the campaign and assumes that the English army either failed to secure a victory at Crécy or else retreated without fighting a battle.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

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.

Suitable for playing either side against the A/I or else Head-to-Head.
