It's coming to the crunch after a little to and fro with our archers. The English have received a good blasting from the French guns and stood more or less firm, let's see how they like a good beating with a crusty baguette!

I'll be away from gaming for the weekend, back late Sunday evening.

Anything happening with this? Feels a bit stalled.
Heads up -- @kronenblatt our battle's turn is with you.

Sorry about that: I've been (and still am) very busy with work AND family. But hopefully got it going now. Otherwise, I just have to WO in case you want to move on. 🙂

Ok, no prob ... let's see how we do -- it's the last round, so we might as well finish the campaign.

I noticed that we didn't post the result. It was a 48-17 victory for the French in ARTOIS.

The English invasion of ARTOIS was defeated, suffering a 17 - 48 = -31% Defeat.
In AUVERGNE the battle lines have clashed and the mounted men at arms are in the fight -- too early yet to tell how it will play out.

@nathangun Will you be cracking the Chamapagne or will we be dining on sour grapes?

=> This suddenly and unexpectedly very swiftly came to an end with a Burgundian victory 49-24 (+25), due to a last-minute rally from routed. Many thanks for the game!
