Who lost the battle of Agincourt?

[Slartibardfast]

And the arrows piercing their flesh.

Mud! mud! Glorious mud!

Was on one of those Battlefield Detective doco, thingie, whatsits on SBS.

At the time of Agincourt English longbow bodkins couldn't pierce the latest in French military fashion for "Nobs on Horses" and the earth around Aginincourt is supposed to consist of this soil that if it gets churned up when wet turns into mud that is especially sticky to metals.

All the French knights, mostly on foot and looking to cash in on ransoms for the very few English Nobs on location, charge up the narrowing rise churning up the mud like a mini-Somme and in their eagerness to "grab the cash" get bogged. The English then counter-charge and with most of them wearing leather and cloth based armours they slip and slide around and proceed to butcher the French who are stuck up to their waists in full plate armour.

Ehh! Bloody weather!

I lost the very first time I played it, at the preview event. I was actually already winning and they said 'now is the time to strike!' and all when I killed their general. I sent my general in a flanking attack, but apparently he ran into some spears and died, and my entire army (whom stim outnumbered the enemy 3 to 1) routed :p
