Description

Game about three batlles of the 1066, where Normans and Vikings attacked England. At Stamford Brige Englishmen managed to defeat the vikings, but they were beated at Fulford. Hastings was decisive batlle, where Normans managed to win.

Game uses the rules for the "Medieval" system, with classic "I move - you move" mechanics. Unitss are infantry and cavalry, light, medium and heavy, along with archers and leaders. Cavalry may charge to make it's attack more devastating.

Morale plays the important role in the mechanics - as he number of the losses increases, the stronger enemy player attacks. Defeated units might be weakened, destroyed or disordered.
