near an old Roman road. And all the Roman ghosts were facepalming there so hard: "500 is the cavalry. fine. archers? artillery? legions? skirmishers? damn, how are these noobs many centuries AFTER us??"
Did the French have any other tactic than charging the enemy head-on in this period? I guess later on they decided to skip the first step and run right away.

Hi, I was wondering how do you guys design those battle maps ? What software do you use, is there any tutorial I can see to train also ? I'm finding but really can't find :(
I don't believe the pike was even in common use at this time, and a heavy armored charge was usually very effective so it was probably seemed a very reasonable choice. In hindsight though... not so much.
@@BLRSharpLight A few years ago my niece released her two horses into a field and they both ran off and then right back and the return was somewhat unnerving. The ground literally shakes under their hooves. For an average man a large cavalry advance must be terrifying! But to Henry's dismounted knights, trained to the saddle from youth it's probably not that dreadful, and they would know the nature of horses and how to deal with them.
hi Baz, i am a huge fan an been so for a long time. If I could ask for one thing it would be for you to calm it down with the "little did he know"s. while they are an effective and beautifull storytelling element, in most cases its fair to assume its just not true
How the english stopped french cavalry with men fighting at foot? In the middle-ages cavalry was very dominant. Only special trained elite-forces like ths swiss or the english managed to beat them with bow or dense pikemen-halberdier-mix. I wonder which weapons where used by knights on foot to meet the impact of cavalry using lances.
I'm confused every battle which pits the French vs English is French Cavalry charging, getting whupped by a stalwart defence by the Englishmen either using bows or pikes. Don't they have an military analyst in France, they seem to keep repeating their mistakes right upto the 1940's.
That's because it often worked, too. At Bouvines, Roche-aux-Moines, Taillebourg, Patay, P, ntvallain Formigny, Rocroi, Seneffe, etc. The case where it didn't work are more known because they were kinf of exceptionnal.
Baldwin VII of Flanders was the son of Robert II of Flanders who had gone to the first crusade with Robert Curthose, so it makes sense he bouched for Clito rather than Henry as duke of Normandy. History is really fascinating when you join the dots like that!!
Just like my games of Crusader kings. You manage to finally secure the succession of a duchy for your heir, and then boom, random event, your heir is dead.
I quit EU IV largely because of heir death. I imagine heir death MMTH is age 15. It felt like only one in three transitions was not under thread of succession fkery. Maybe I needed paid DLC to fix that. >:(
@@Cordman1221 Yeah! For me that's better than a personal union under (insert name of blob.) Who was inevitably the cornerstone of my alliance and of course allied with my worst enemy (blob.) XD

Against larger groups of heavy infantry, once they lose that charge bonus and their flanks are un protected. That could happen on Total War. Louie should have sent 80% the first time instead of going 40/40.
Very nice couple of episodes on a periode of Norman/English/French history getting far too little attention. I for one have never before heard of these battles or the interesting intrigues and politics. Well done!
I saw it like... aww shit its The Roman Empire V Which still sounds better than the holy roman empire. Has that call of duty ring to it. "Here we go again boys"
Henry's the luckiest unluckiest king during this time. He won the battle, but all of his gains disappeared when his son died

Back in the days they did not know about men being infertile. He probably put so much pressure on his wife she cheated and only got one kid and called it a day. So the kid ain't his anyway. I'd be suspicious if I only got one kid.
You cannot really refer to Henry as "the English King". The King of England would be more appropriate because the Normans and then Angevins nobles who ruled England (as well as the nobility of England) had nothing "English". They came from France, were French speaking, and considered their lands in France far more valuable and basically used English ressources to defend them
Can you do the battle off Samar? I feel like it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. If you haven’t heard of the battle off Samar, it is basically the best example of a David vs Goliath battle where the American fleet of 7 destroyers successfully fended off the entire Japanese fleet of several battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. The battle was so one sided with such great heroics on the American side that if a movie were made today on it it would be dismissed as too unrealistic.
The period between the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Philippine Sea is a giant black hole. I wouldn't mind watching something on the naval battles that happened in between.
Best part, only 3 of them were actual destroyers. 4 were destroyer escorts, part of Taffy 3. It also included 6 escort carriers but everyone loves the story of the Johnston and the Samuel B Roberts. The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship.
You forgot the hundreds of aircraft the Americans had during Samar, while the Japanese had none, as well as the huge technological gap in fire control, damage control, recon and communications. Not to mention the Japanese were operating on a time constraint seeing how the main US fleet was on its way back. It was nowhere near a david vs goliath scenario.
