  Medieval commanders with proper scouting? Impossible I say!

  This is like AI in Medieval II deciding it is stronger and assaulting your perfectly prepared position

  I can feel myself envious of the Black Prince: hmmmm, what do I get my dad for Christmas? Oh, I know - I&apos;ll expand Gascony by nearly double, and bring the French King home as a prize. Easy, peasy. <br>Me: I hope my dad likes this card.

  I&apos;ve heard of this battle and King John&apos;s capture for years. But did not know his 14 old son was present with him at his capture! Well done!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC4VUI3DOqA&amp;t=1300">21:40</a> just my opinion, but it seems to me as though the decision to feign a retreat towards the river was a clever move. Not only does the Earl of Warwick entice the enemy into their initial charge, but once his troops wheel about to engage the enemy, he manages their repositioning, so that an out flanking option is no longer available to the French, as the English battle line runs to the marsh, PLUS the archers final position winds up being in that marsh, where they are well protected from cavalry. <br><br>None of these things existed whilst Warwicks division remained where it initially stood.

  There is a gap between 1356 and 1415 not covered by the series.<br>And thank you for this great effort.

  I&apos;m surprised how the French didn&apos;t focus special attention on the English longbow men before any front line engagement. These English units proved time and again to be the most dangerous yet the French repeated the same mistakes. Can anyone explain if maybe I am wrong?

  The worst massacre against France didn&apos;t happen this day in Poitiers, but rather when this video was recorded. Thank goodness for a warning at the beginning because the attack on the French language throughout the entire recording is incredibly cruel... but congratulations on the rest. Amazing as always!

  It&apos;s great that History Marche acknowledge they butcher french words. An honest blogger. I won&apos;t regret subbing.
