Lord Edward The Black Prince of Aquitane fought in the Famous battle of najera. He employed the English long bows against the spanish Jinettes and thus he overwelmed them to the point that they were no longer effective as a harrasing, probing force against his own flanks of infantry.

I would like to make a custom battle based on this event for your enjoyment and could sure use some ideas...Or perhaps a campaign since Prince Edward The Black was the Lord of Aquitane..

This seems a really good idea.

I will look into what info I can find to help you out http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

It is my intension to recreate as many of the battles of the 100 years war as possible, I can then host them on my 100yearswar.co.uk web site....

Thanks for the links, working on a custom battle reguarding this event and it looks pretty good on the game. A campaign revolving around the black prince would not be very good since his lifespan was so short.
But maybe i could use him as a hero in the game..
