Agincourt 1415 The Historic Battle

[CoX]

Its impossible to beat!

I have tried about five different ways of moving my forces around but each time I get raped by the Cavalry that flanks me! Any help? :help:

That was the first thing I tried when I got M2TW actually, before doing any campaign, tutorial or stuff and it was quite easy.

Basically keep your longbows behind the stakes and put your heavy infantry right behind them. Have the longbows shoot at targets you assign them, not randomly. Do not use fire until you killed both generals.
Fire preferrentially at mounted knights and secondly on dismounted ones. Ignore their ranged units.

When the enemy gets close, (your longbows your be in skirmish mode), he will slow down trying to pursue your longbows at which time you should charge him with the infantry you got. Involve your general as well.
I even moved my infantry from the flanks to the center, not knowing he'd send reinforcements from behind and the left flank. Its not a big deal though because longbows can actually beat their knights in melee, so use them accordingly if forced instead of running.

Always focus on their general unit as without a general your enemy routs fairly quickly. Oh, and try not to shoot your own troops. If your aimed target gets too close, aim at something else.

I think using fire at the cavalry did not help

Thanks.
