I had my first game of this for a couple of years using this scenario in SP. I played as the English and managed to win 60-38 on Baron level (one of the easier levels, I believe). I thought the scenario was fantastic. I will have a game as the French next time. What ultimately saved me was the AI ha...

My thanks to Karvon for organising this team event. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I think we all probably did as we got to the end in good time and nobody dropped out. If there are any aspects of the campaign that you think I should address than please let me know. Towton has already been updated and ...

No rallies for the Lancastrians so it has finished in a Yorkist victory 43-5. No pursuit as one Yorkist "pricker" unit was fragmented, so Henry Tudor escapes into exile. 12 points, I think - 10 for the victory and 2 Crown points.

The Yorkists are on the verge of victory now. They lead 43-5 and both the Northumberland and Stanley contingents are moving to support the Yorkists . . .

The Yorkists are now running riot and it could be over shortly without the Stanley's making an appearance . . .

The Yorkists have taken an early lead and are making progress on their right. Richard of Gloucester has moved to the centre of the Yorkist position . . .

Oh I see - the bit in the text document: " will you defend the crossing or withdraw?" I assumed that choice would be made in the battle. It's not clear to me that there is a choice to not fight the battle (mind you I would have chosen to fight it anyway) I will make it clearer when I upda...

Yes, he will need something to help him in this very tough battle. Battle is under way.

. . . I have just been tracking the fortunes of the monarch in our campaign. Henry VI came to the throne before his first birthday in 1422 and starts our campaign as the king. In 1461, there is a very brief period of dual power before his control is re-established after the Lancastrian victory at T...

Yorkist commanders for Bosworth Field are . . .

C-in-C - Richard, Duke of Gloucester
2- John Howard, Duke of Norfolk
3- Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland

York defeats Lancaster in the battle of Tewkesbury 47:19

Seeing as I have exactly two steady units of prickers I can capture and ransom the enemy generals I believe.

That is an excellent win, Mr Angus. Ransoming would be good as we are well behind on points at the moment.

What are the consequences of withdrawing in the battle of Fernybridge? Nothing. You just move straight on to Towton. I will make this clearer when I issue v2 of the text campaign once we have finished. :wink: I mean is there a mechanism for withdrawal in the scenario? Something other than the usual...

Apologies, I have noticed another error in the text campaign. In "Outcomes" for this battle at Tewkesbury, number 2 should say . . . 2) If the Lancastrians win Barnet only then the Yorkists retain control of the Crown. Go to episode 23 . And not go to episode 24. This is because the Yorkis...

Nothing. You just move straight on to Towton. I will make this clearer when I issue v2 of the text campaign once we have finished.

As the Yorkist player I agree with this change! :D From my side I saw a few disordered units that subsequently returned to good order. But we should see the effects over several games really. I had Barnet flagged as a query before we started the campaign as SP HotSeat testing had resulted in more L...

The plan for the updated version of Barnet 1471 is to extend the Lancastrian "wave of panic" to a second turn. However, there will be a 75% chance of this happening, so the Yorkists will not always get this benefit. It is with Paul59 at the moment.

Barnet: In my limited experience this is a very close battle. The Lancastrians have a numerical advantage at the start but the cohesion check on their centre is a disadvantage, whether it fully neutralises the original numerical advantage I suspect only repeated playing will confirm. Playing with l...

OK then. Let's see what the others say.

A few things for this morning . . . Firstly, I have just been tracking the fortunes of the monarch in our campaign. Henry VI came to the throne before his first birthday in 1422 and starts our campaign as the king. In 1461, there is a very brief period of dual power before his control is re-establis...

Now updated.
