    Default Royal camp

    The royal army sent by the king to hunt down the forces of Lord Arundel.

    Commander-in-chief: John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon. +2 Survival, +1 Duels, +1 Battles, +2 Charisma.
    Sanguine:
    - Confident: This character is very self-assured, brimming with confidence and difficult to shake even under pressure. However, taken to an extreme, they can show a suicidal disregard for their life and the lives of others, and fail to take...well, failure into account when planning. +1 battle rolls, +1 to rout rolls.
    Choleric:
    - Bloodthirsty: This character is hotheaded and loves to jump into fights, lethal or otherwise. This is not something others find endearing off the battlefield, though. +1 Battles, -1 to NPC reaction rolls.
    - Impulsive: This character acts before (sometimes, without) thinking. They might move and decide more quickly than others, but their recklessness can lead them to disaster as well. +5% movement speed, -1 to detection rolls.

    Equipment:
    Full Plate Armor (+20 hp, +8 Duels, +4 Survival, +5 post-battle condition rolls) - Covering oneself from head to toe in the best plate available brings significant advantages and drawbacks. While slightly hindering mobility, the wearer becomes a tank that is almost impervious to attacks. Favored by knights taking to the battlefield, knowing their main role in such an event will be to present the heaviest possible mass atop a horse to plough through enemy troops in a formation of massed heavy horse, this is a set of armor for surviving a major battle rather than a set for everyday wear or single combat. This set of armor costs 500£.

    Hand-and-a-half Weapon (+4 Duels, +3 Survival), the most common name for large single-handed weapons, are typically used without shields but are lighter and thus more mobile than two-handed weapons, giving the user the ability to position themselves faster and exploit the situation with more agility, at the cost of reduced reach and less power than a two-handed weapons, but superior reach and power to a single handed weapon. These weapons cost 100£.

    Army I
    15 Knights
    900 Yeomen Archers
    300 Yeomen Foot
    300 Men-At-Arms

    Total men: 1,500


    Army II

    300 Chesire Yeomen

    Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent, Lord Constable of the Tower:
    120 Yeomen Archers
    40 Yeomen Foot
    40 Men-At-Arms
    1 Knight
