Scenario Briefing: Variant, Company Scale - Although England and France were technically at peace after the 1360 Treaty of Bretigny, hostilities continued with both sides intervening in other conflicts involving various allies. When Charles II of Navarre, an English ally, sought to inherit the Duchy of Burgundy, the Navarrese army - which included English troops - was led by the Gascon Jean III de Grailly, Captal de Buch, who had fought on the English side at Poitiers.
Campaigning in Normandy, de Buch concentrated his forces at Evreux and sought out the French army which was led by du Guesclin. Learning from his scouts that the French army was nearby, de Buch deployed his forces on high ground. After an initial French assault was repulsed, du Guesclin made a feigned retreat to lure the enemy from their strong position. Although de Buch suspected a trick, he was forced to launch a full scale attack due to the insubordinate actions of his English officer, John Jouel. On level ground and out in the open, a subsequent French flanking attack quickly routed the less numerous enemy.
This is a variant 36 turn scenario on a company scale map starting earlier with the French deployed at the river crossing.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Note: Side A = French and pro-French Bretons, Side B = English and Navarrese.
Best played Head-to-Head, but also suitable for playing either side against the A/I. Perhaps slightly more challenging as the English / Navarrese side.
