hey guys

im new here :P been "ghosting" here for some while, reading posts and threads

anyways,
i have a project in school, and i have chosen to recreate the Battle of Hastings. i will use Medieval 2 and play the battle, record it with fraps and then edit it, and making a documentary of it.

luckily the game already has a premade battle of it

BUT, they are inccorect with some things. i have done alot of research on this battle;
(which URL's i cant post due to me not having more than one post..) onesource is wikipedia
two of the my good sources there and it states that:

William first advances his archers and fire at Harold's shield wall, but they have no success. then William orders his infantry units to charge Harolds shield wall, but on the way, some of harolds men throw projectine and rocks down on them, so they get great casualties.. NOW thats the first FLAW, any suggestions on how i should do that?

William withdraws his infantry and orders his cavarly to charge into the shield wall. they get slaughtered and then slowly his army starts to flee. im going to do that by taking the specific units and ordering them to run quickly back. now the problem is that as soon as i charge with the horses, all of the Harolds units start to charge down.. anyways

William will quickly do a counter attack on Harold's army, which will be weak now and less effective, since they arnt in their shield wall.. now the problem is, in the game, there isnt anything called a shield wall. So i order my troops back to attack..
now some of Harolds army should stay in formation on the top of teh hill, while the ones that ran down to chase my fleeing troops will get killed rapidly. the problem is, the whole of Haralds army charges down as soon as i charge them with my cavarly.. now what do i do? =(

cos that is in the way of me performing the rest of the actual battle, where William tells his archers to shoot at the last flanks of the shield wall, where Harold gets hit with an arrow in the eye,and then William would charge the remaining shield wall and break through, and then win the match..

you guys have any ideas of how i should perform this? should i maybe choose another historical battle which the game has designed alitle more accurate and precise? im aware that it would be much better if a played a multiplayer game, but that would be kinda hard for me to arrange...

i even have the tip/advisory help on max, and in the beggining it says that i need to charge the two flanks where Harolds Huscarls are... which is also incorrect =(

thanks alot in advanced
