Battle of Agincourt (1415 AD) (2003)

“In 1415 Henry V’s invasion of France wasn’t going well. His exhausted army desperately needed to get to the safety of Calais if they were to survive. The French were determined to prevent their escape." "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.” A miniatures wargame intended for classroom use with two teams of students (grades 6-8). The game is designed to be played on a 5x5 foot table using 1/72 scale plastic miniatures mounted two per stand. Free print-and-play paper miniatures are also provided for use with the rules. Units portrayed in the game include commanders, mounted knights, crossbowmen, longbow men, and infantry.
