Got the game yesterday and I couldn't stop playing it.
Got VI as well and installed it, starting a game as the Saxons. Took over most of southern england except the area we now know to be cornwall, which was owned by the welsh. So I put together a decent sized army and invaded.
The welsh were across the other side of a deep valley. A wood on their left flank, my fyrdmen went down into the valley and into the forest to attempt to take their left flank (didn't fancy fighting up the hill). However I lost most of my men and stupidly sent spearmen down into the valley supported by archers but they ended up being routed by the welsh cavalry who had got through the forest and turned up on our right flank.
I retreated. We lost 522 men to their 134. Whoops.
Anyway I enjoyed it anyway I just need to practice my tactics. How do you take an army on the other side of a valley?
