(Proberly the battle that will ultimatly decied the war for the Britons.)
Cnut and his men marched over a hill. They were getting closer as now they could see the fabulous city of Camelot. The war drums continued to beat as they marched.
"Zorata we are near by, these scum will feel our blades soon enough..."
"Warlord, we stand ready but do not over judge your odds."
"My odds are determine by God!"
Brunes of Agder started to laugh loudly."The Gods do not determine our battle, our Steel and Arms will!"
"That to Brunes!" Cnut took a breath and then started to shout "Tommorow we walk in the streets of Camalot men!!"
A huge warcry from the men. Tommorow they will march ontop of Camalot!
Map replaced by the correct one. Get over it.
We will march to Camelot and take food and water as we pass villages, we will not attack villagers but resistance will be made and example of by riping there insides to shreads and sticking them on pikes outside villages. When we approach Camelot(Circle) we will Pillage all villages close by killing every man but sparing women and children. Blue lines will be scouts looking for Teutons (But dice roll will decide that)
Anyway interventions while on the way to Camelot can create a new battle thread for that battle. We will march today.

Hochmeister, the men are ready for battle. I have a different strategy on these heretics; if they are these pillaging pirates then why should we play by the rules? What do you mean sir? We take the fight when they are not ready, captain. But my lord, isn't that being a coward? War is never fair captain, learn that now. Muslims used it on us plenty of times in the barren wasteland, and thus here the woods will make it easier for us. We proved to the Saxons we are not women that run from battle. They called for backup from the heathens of the North, and we shall force them into the sea like our ancestors did. I am sorry sir, I did not mean to offend you. But where we should go. Get the men to march at once. I will show you where we will surprise the Saxons and kill them off once and for all.
***Whoever does the battle ask Aggy for the surprise attack info/plans***
I said they were at the Fortress of Badon Hill, which is right on the border with England.
If we launch a attack on badon hill we will not set foot on it. We will pelt it with altillery until you can take no more/to much damage taken. We don't play by the rules, if we have an easy route we take it, You will loss badon hill if we don't attack it and if you try to counter our army will most proberly win. Also as we walk to Camelot we kill all men we see and pillage all Villages we find.
Good luck, we have a few new things called "Archers" and "Cavalry", that will mke short work of your artillery.
Also, I do hope you realize that if you attack, we can sally and beat you, and even if we lose you'll have about 7 million Britons attacking you within days. Marching to Camelot will not be easy.
1. I'll cover each artillery with heavy infantry, your archers will a. Need to get close to get good aim b.I will create extra safety to make sure your archers attempt will be usless. I hope you send your cavalry I really do, as you say they will make short work of my artillery covered by men. Artillery 9 meters, 1000 heavys 1000 meters so we will eaislycover them with heavys alone.
It's called cavalry charge+archer support. You can't defend aganst both, and if your artillery is anywhere near effective range, they can be hit by longbows.
Hevy infantry ordered to block arrows while other heavy infantry + berserkers + archers + our cav ready for you cavalry. I can defend against both since I'll see your cav long before you come giving me time to prepare.
Take a look at the battle of dalmatia and what i said there. The only way your army could match mine on field is if you brought your whole army, Which under no circumstances could you do. Even if I did march up the hill and won you would just retrain your troops by your system, which is just Idiotic!
So why the is aggy saying you have to go through badon hill when it dosn't even exist!? I march to Camelot no made up crap! Atleast Camelot has a location.
