Medieval Campaign

By Steve C

After Friday Night's shenanigans the sorting hat had its say the teams are as follows: 


Team John  

  • Matt  
  • Dave  
  • Mike N  
  • Nigel  

 

Team Rupert  

  • Mark  
  • Phil  
  • Mike W  
  • Oli  

 

There were 11 armies to choose from in the end as I found I could do one more than I thought I could, they were:  

 

Later Polish  

Communal Italian  

Early Imperial  

Feudal English  

Feudal French  

Early Medieval French  

Early 100 year war English  

Scots Common Army  

Low Countries  

Early Burgundian  

Free company  

 

After a hard fought bidding process the four armies that each side chose out of the 11 they could have were as follows:  


Team John  

  • Later Polish  
  • 100 years war English  
  • Low Countries  
  • Early Burgundian  

 

Team Rupert  

  • Early Imperialist  
  • Feudal French  
  • Communal Italian  
  • Free Company  

 

As a reminder there will be six games in all of which the first four games the players had to commit to and this is how they panned out:  

 

Game 1:          Later Polish                             Vs        Early Imperialist  

Game 2:          100 years war English           Vs        Feudal French  

Game 3:          Low Countries                         Vs        Communal Italian  

Game 4:          Early Burgundian                   Vs        Free Company  

 

It is then up to the players to decide which armies they want to use for the two remaining games.  

 

7 points will be awarded for a win  

3 points for a loss  

2 points for a draw  

 

To win you must have 25% more than the losers lower score.  

 

A few of things to note:  

  1. Figure casualties will not be taken off as before thus allowing for a bloodier and quicker game.  
  2. Games will start at 8:30  
  3. Games will finish:  
    1. If players have had enough and want to call it a day  
    2. If the outcome is obvious  
    3. At midnight
