Hi,
This is what I've got so far for the Swindon event for my HYW English, the army is based upon that of the force John of Bedford strung together for the Battle of Verneuil 1424.
As it's a tournament and given that due to Covid I have not even played a single game I would very much appreciate any help with the list I can get. In fact I'm quite desperate!
To my inexperienced eyes the army seems pretty thin on melee troops. Can you think of a way to remedy this? I'm not complaining but the 50% archers minimum makes it very difficult to fit in a decent number of melee units.
Ideally I'd like to squeeze in some Gascon mounted Men at Arms or at least some Foot Soldiers under the Men at Arms section.....
Here is what I have so far (shields have been removed from the longbowmen):
