Hail Caesar 2: York Attacks!

King's Retinue in a Desperate Battle

Back to the War of the Roses, where the King's forces have double-backed on their Lancastrian pursuers and caught half of their army out of position. However, there is a wide stream that might be difficult to cross in the face of massed archery fire! The Yorkists had command problems all night long, especially when it came to coordinating attacks. The King and his retinue, however, had no problem crossing the stream and piling right into the middle of the enemy's forces. There were some desperate battles between King Edward's units and Oxford's defenders, but in the end Oxford prevailed and the King's dvision broke, then had to fall back. The other two divisions siimply could not get across the stream in any semblance of order and reinforce the King's success. One last attack on the Yorkist left almost succeeded, but Clifford's forces drove the Yorkists back to the stream. After a few more turns the battle was over, with Lancaster the victor and the King's forces needing to regroup.
