Scenario Briefing: Variant - In 1449, a well coordinated French attack on Normandy reconquered most of the duchy in a matter of months. Despite disorder across much of England, the English government managed to raise a small relief army under Thomas Kyriell which joined forces with the remaining English garrisons in Normandy with the intention of bringing the French to battle and reversing the recent losses.

Locating the combined English forces encamped at Formigny, the French commander, de Clermont, was determined to attack. Although the English had adopted a strong defensive position, two French guns were deployed to bombard the enemy from beyond bow range, prompting the English to go onto the offensive to take out the guns.

This scenario has more French troops deployed as dragoons or mounted and with most of the English servants and camp followers not represented.
