Scenario Briefing: Historical - Discovering that an enemy force was nearby on the afternoon of Easter Saturday, Henry V's brother the Duke of Clarence hoped to cross the river and take it by surprise. However, unaware that the Franco-Scottish army seriously outnumbered the troops under his immediate command, Clarence was too impatient to wait for his second in command Salisbury to arrive with the main English army. According to the Journal d'un Bourgeois de Paris, Clarence's attacking force consisted of 1,500 men at arms and 500 mounted archers. If Clarence had waited for Salisbury's reinforcements he would have had about 4000 men and might have had a better chance of defeating the Franco-Scottish army of approximately 5000 men.
In this short scenario there is a small chance that Salisbury's force will arrive. To give Clarence a fighting chance, most of the French and Scottish troops will start out fixed and disrupted to represent the fact that initially only a small force was ready to oppose the English attackers.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Note: Side A = French and Scottish, Side B = English
Best played as the English against the French / Scottish A/I. If playing Head-To-Head, the more experienced player should take the English side.
