Scenario Briefing: Variant - 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, Historically, Clarence's attacking force consisted of 1,500 men at arms and 500 archers but, if Clarence had waited for Salisbury's reinforcements, he would have had about 4000 more men and might have had a better chance of defeating the Franco-Scottish army of approximately 5000 men.
This variant scenario give the English a better chance of success with the entire English force already on the map.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Note: Side A = French and Scottish, Side B = English
Suitable for playing either side but, since the English are attacking across a river, it's probably best played as the English against the French / Scottish A/I.
