In this very large 6 player game based on the Norman invasion of England in 1066,the smaller Saxon force was tasked with defending the fordable river, bridge and village. With a very long stretch of river to defend the Saxons decided to concentrate their forces on only two thirds of the table. This enabled the Norman massed cavalry to cross the river on their right unopposed. However, despite repeated cavalry charges the Saxon shield wall held, but only just! This proved to be a very challenging scenario for both sides and one which demands a re-fight in the future with players swapping sides from Norman to Saxon and visa versa!
