The English deployed with the Black Prince on the right, King Edward III in the centre and the Earl of Oxford on the left. The Florentine army consisted of knights, crossbowmen and some hired Swiss lackies:
The English advance quickly on their right where they feel they have an advantage:
The Black Prince continues to attack driving back the Florentines facing him:
On the left though things are not going so well and the English line is being outflanked:
The Florentines begin to attack the Earl of Oxford:
With both armies winning on one flank it will be in the centre where the Swiss are station that the battle will be decided:
On the left only the Earl of Oxford himself fights on:
The Swiss begin to cut through the English foot while now that the Earl of Oxford's command has been wiped out the King's command is under pressure from the Florentine knights as well:
The Swiss are triumphant and the English army breaks:
This was a fairly close game, Sean's army had taken quite a few losses and for a while it looked like it could go either way. I made at least one simple mistake that had a bit of an effect and need to try to cut out that sort of error in future. I should pay for better quality generals as well as the 'Ordinary' ones I use didn't get enough movement pips on a few occasions. Back to the drawing board!
