It is an army that is particularly close to my heart: that of the French during the Battle of Azincourt. This is the period of my historical reenactment. It is a complete army with an impressive striking force (knights), a solid infantry (Blades and crossbowmen) as well as interesting gadgets (Artillery)

Even if Charles VI was not present at Azincourt, I chose to represent the King of France to illustrate this page. |
The army has lost a little tactical flexibility with the 3.0 because if the knights can always dismantle for the battle, it must be decided at the time of the deployment and the lords of France no longer have the leisure to get off the horse during battle.
My army of French war 100 years is built in format BBDBA.
