A recap of the HYW battle i fought last month between The English and Franco Scottish.
The actual battle lasted 3 hours but i posted a shorter version with the most important and critical parts of the battle.
The English fielded a strong center but their flanks looked very venerable something that the Franco Scottish aimed to exploit from the start of the game .
Hope you will enjoy the video.

Was really nice to see how the struggle on the english left affected the outcome of the whole battle.
Thank you Dear Harry yes it was a fun battle i enjoyed playing and shooting. Usually when flanks break is the end of a battle..;) Thank you for watching my friend!
Very good battlereport and good tactical view on the battle. Always a pleasure to watch your reports.
Cheers Christoph
Thank you Dear Christoph glad you enjoyed the report!
First time watching. Excellent running commentary. You have a pleasant speaking voice.
Thank you my friend! Hope you will enjoy the channel content! hahah Thank you!
Excellent. I appreciate your very detailed tactical commentary.
I also like the dynamic back-and-forth line of battle that these rules seem to encourage. I may have to try them one day 😊
Thank you my friend!! Yes it is a good rule set especially regarding melee reactions. If you want to learn more about the rules check out my SWORDPOINT Master Class series. These are 4 videos of rules explanations from the Author Martin i just added some graphics to make them easier to understand...Thank you for watching my friend!
Great report! Bad day for the French. Excellent figures, awesome to see them all on the battlefield. Sweet stuff!
Thank you dear DJ!! Stay tuned my next battle report with my 28's will be next month this time i will use the new ''Don't mind the Bilhooks'' Rule set. Looking forward to it. Thank you for watching my friend!
Lovely AAR - thank you. Your battlelines look superb.
Thank you dear Norm!! Glad you enjoyed the report!! Stay tuned when I go back home next month i will probably shoot using my Bretton succession armies and ''Never Mind the Billhooks'' new ruleset.
Perfect timing: a copy of the Rule Book, the link of your video, and it is all packed up for Thanksgiving. Gratitude and all the best!

hello, following your channel, excellent content
Thank you my friend!! Glad you are enjoying the content! Thank you for subscribing!
Watching this is wargamer bliss🤣. Absolutely marvelous.
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend!! Hope you will enjoy the battle!
Great battle. The English left went from the weak point to the focus of their victory.
Thank you my friend glad you enjoyed the report! Yes it was unexpected. The turning point was the shooting phase and the English Longbowmen taking advantage of their Mass Archery rule breaking the fist unit of French Men at Arms. Then the second unit was doomed. Also the isolated Schiltron unit was very slow to do something against the fast Longbows and English Mounted Knights. Thank you for watching my friend!
Fantastic ... as usual
Thank you Dear Barry!! Glad you enjoyed the report my friend!
Great battle report. Perhaps place the dice somewhere than in center of table top in order to preserve the asthetic and allow viewer a more immersive experience.
Thank you dear Joe!!yes maybe I need to purchase or make a dice 🎲 container to roll in and avoid rolling along the table..you have a good point there. Thank you for watching my friend!
Good game. I can't understand why the French didn't position their cavalry better. Knowing how important and powerful that unit is makes positioning it very important to the French player. To move the crossbowmen to block off the gap that allows the cavalry to move/ charge was poor to say the least.
Thank you Dear Rune! Glad you enjoyed the game.. you have a very good point but because I was playing Solo and SWORDPOINT rules are not the best to accommodate Solo gaming I deployed randomly using a die Roll.. 😂😂😂(Right -left-center) Also the problem with the French mounted knights is that they are impetuous and using the SWORDPOINT HYW supplement rule of Arrogant Pride ( give a +1 modifier to morale roll in order to hold the French and not charge) scared me that they will attack unsupported a very coherent English line (line of battle rule makes coherent lines very strong regardless of the unit quality) in the other hand the Longbowmen were shooting at the slow moving Schiltrons with ease and I had to move the crossbows in order to threaten them and fire back.. but as you correctly mention this move in combination with the main line moving forward blocked my Mounted Charge! I believe my biggest mistake was in the Franco Scottish right flank. I should not have moved and isolated the Schiltron. The Schiltrons are very slow moving and work well together not as an isolated entity..i think there is where the Franco Scottish lost the Battle. But in the other hand i was not excepting the two French units of MAA to break so easily from longbow fire.Thank you for watching my friend and for your great comment!
@@MedievalWargamer I've played games with units subject to similar rules and I used the same concept to check them in case they failed and would be forced to be drawn out by charging too soon so your answer makes sense. You are going to laugh now because I must say, I was enjoying the battle so much that I didn't realize it was a solo game until the end! I was too busy taking in the beautifully painted miniatures and the details of the battle. Your narration was excellent and made the game turns seem to flow by effortlessly. What line of miniatures did you use?
@@runeghost4264 Thank you so much dear Friend!! 😂😂😂 Glad you enjoyed the battle Report!! Well these armies are all from Claymore Castings. I have posted recently, you will find in my latest videos,3 showcases 1 cinematic and 2 typical where i deployed my complete collection from Early(800 minis )and Late (600 minis) HYW. Have a look when you find time let me know what you think
Hello Nik, enjoyed your report on the Swordpoint rules as always. I have a question though. I have never seen a battle of yours on these rules when the French would have won. I am starting to suspect you in favouring the English ... Lol
hahahahahaha Thank you My friend! I am starting suspecting the same as well...hahahah
Awesome vid! How did you make the banners and clan heraldry for the Scots?
Thank you Fraser! The banners and coat of arms on the shields I create many years now using PowerPoint pint to scale and then I just add highlights for dirt weathering etc…simpler heraldry like the cross if St Andrew on the shields I paint.
@@MedievalWargamer Cheers for the reply! I want to get into the hobby after watching your vids and as a Scot myself your army will be inspiration to my own 😁
@@fraserm9952 I have many videos about the Scottish! One of my favorite armies! Check them out many showcases and some very interesting Biographies for Douglas and King David II..
little bit boring, compare to what gunpowder era could offer eh
You have a point there my friend!😄😄 The maihem created by cannons is difficult to match! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
