About the game

What is Battle of Agincourt (1415 AD)

"A large French army intercepted the English and forced a battle. Henry deployed his army so that heavy woods would protect both of his flanks, forcing the French to attack across a narrow front, negating much of their manpower advantage. To make matters worse for the French heavy rains had reduced the battlefield to a muddy quagmire. As the ill-disciplined French advanced through the mud the deadly English archers shot them to pieces.”
