The first campaign game of Aquitaine ended in disaster for the English routiers, with a defeat by the massed army of John the Good at Perigeux, where the Black Prince, Chandos and Audley were attacked by the entire French army of John the Good. The English had captured Guyenne and Brive, taxing but not capturing Tulle, Cahors, Perigeux and Rocamadour, yet underestimated the distance the French army could cover when they managed to roll a six for movement in turn three. The Black Prince unwisely chose to evade rather than dig-in, while John opted for a hasty attack, the end result being an overwhelming advantage for the French and total defeat for the English. In their defence, I'm very rusty with the rules and made a couple of bad decisions, so they should do better next time?
