Another 15mm Peter Laing Medieval Battle

      The second battle of Agincourt was fought using 15mm Peter Laing figures on Heroscape terrain.  It was a fun game. The English plan to move their forces to the woods never took place, which  led to their being beaten soundly.
      I still wanted to try using the Battlelore battle rules and movement, but instead of using the movement cards, I decided to use my movement dice.  It is for a set of rules that each side moved 4 units per turn . To fight solo battles, I made a dice that has one 3, three 4s, one 5, and one 6 on it.  That way you never know how many units you'll get to move on the next turn. So once again (and for the last time for a while) Agincourt was fought again.
    This time the battle was a close run thing. The English made more use of the woods, thereby cutting down the French attack strength. In the end the English carried the day, taking 5 units to the French 3. Here are some photos of the action.

English army on top of field, French army on bottom.  This time I got the armies on the right side of the field.

The French Knights wait to attack.

The French knights attacked by two units of English archers. The French men-at arms trail behind.

All the French Horsemen push forward. The English prepare for the onslaught. With Battlelore rules  if three units group together (think of like a triangle) they are supported and considered "bold", which allows them to ignore the first "retreat" dice. They can also "battle back" if not eliminated or forced to retreat. Another rule I forgot to play this game!

At this point the French cavalry is pushing the English back and causing heavy losses. however , they do not eliminate any of the English units.

The English counterattack, wiping out one French cavalry unit and pushing the others back.

Th French starts pushing forward their strong force of men-at-arms. The English  move towards the woods for protection.

As the main part of the battle takes place in the center, two English archer units on the right flank close in on a lone unit of men-at-arms and eliminates it.

Just about all of the English heavy infantry has been lost. But the French men-at-arms  have also suffered great losses. As the French try to close in on the last of the English foot knights, the English archers sally forth from the woods. They break the attacking French and win the day!

Now to work on a way to build armies based on a point system, such as the system used in "Hordes of the Things".
