3 72 Anglo-Danish

200AP, 2nd at Brian Boru Trophy 09 by Willie Coughlan

Harold was taken as brilliant Bd(S), 3 royal Huscarles Bd(S), 8 Select Fryd Sp(O) and 3 Ps(O) archers who could support the spears (but strangely not the Blades).

21/5.5/7.5

Leofwine Bd(O), had a bodyguard of 3 Huscarles Bd(O), 8 Select Fryd Sp(O), 2  Ps(I) and 1 mounted Select Fryd Cv(I) (was originally no mounted at all but could not find anything useful to spend the AP on)

18.5/5/6.5

Gyrth Bd(O), had a bodyguard of 2 Huscarles Bd(O), 6 Select Fryd Sp(O) and 3 Ps(O) slingers.

15/4/5.5

Interestingly the Anglo-Danes are only allowed Bge(O), which I decided to take as a train command to leave the brothers free to flank march if that became necessary. Any one looking at taking allies with only Bge(O) available may want to take this into consideration.

Camp: 3 Bge(O).

1.5/0.5/1

Of course all irregular. The plain was to defend (yes defend!), place a narrow river (to slow the pony club) and other terrain to create a clash in the centre of the table, deploying first and moving first on a small table should bring enemy within tactical distance straight away. Harold was to use brilliant strokes in combat only, in head to head scrums, each command to deploy on table as far forward as possible with blades and generals in the front line each supported by 2 ranks of spears, skirmishers usually attached and the lone mounted element placed with nothing really in mind (except possible marches by warband).
