The Norman Bishop's sticky end! Dark Ages Rampant.

Sir Norman (the Norman) has fallen ill in the small northern village of Arsend.  Bishop Hugo the Huge has gathered his retinue and is rushing to rescue the poor fallen knight from the peasant women.  

Unfortunately for the Bishop`s plan the Welsh of Dai Quincy and the Anglo Danes of the Earl Quilp have heard of Sir Norman's terrible position, and are also rushing to capture the knight and foil the Bishop...

It`s a Dark Ages version of Lion Rampant...

Burt the peasant prods Norman with his sharp stick...

The Bishop deploys in the south west corner.

The Welsh march on tble in the North East

The Danes from the North East

The Danes get a move on, heading for the village

The Bishop dithers, taking three moves to get through that gate

Good looking boys these Normans

Anglo Danish Bidowers reach poor Norman first

The Bishop charges in, driving the Bidowers to destruction, but he tramples over poor Norman to do it

But the Bishop has left his Infantry behind, toiling to catch up

The Bishops's Noman Cavalry is fierce but the bishop is soon shot to death by rampaging Danes

Yet more cavalry cram into the village.  Poor Bishop Hugo has been done to death up an alley... Not traditional cavalry terrain a village!

View from the drone as the Welsh almost take their turn capturing poor Norman.

The stand off, as the Anglo Danes grab poor Norman again the Bishop's army finally approach.  But too late the Danes have held Norman for five turns and it's game over...
