lost a considerable share of the French lands it once held.\n\nOn the 13th Augu
st, 1415, Henry and his army landed at, and besieged, the port of Harfleur, whic
h surrendered on the 22nd September. The siege took longer than expected so Henr
y launched a raiding expedition across Northern France on his way to the English
-held port of Calais, where he would be able to resupply and rest his weary army
over winter.\n\nHenry's army was sick, tired and hungry. Luckily, Henry was an
astute and capable military commander and his men were experienced and disciplin
ed, in contrast to the undisciplined French army. Henry, knowing waiting would o
nly decimate his army through hunger and disease, was determined to provoke the
French out of any possible waiting game.\n\nThe French leaders expected Henry to
surrender, while many of the younger French nobles hoped to do battle with the
English men-at-arms, intent on ignoring the English archers they deemed beneath
them, so they could reap glory and riches through ransoming noble captives from
what they believed would be a one-sided battle.\n\nHenry V and his beleaguered f
orce must clear their way to Calais by destroying the French army amassed agains
t them. Henry's survival is essential.

en marched along the coast to the port city of Jaffa, which would make a good ba

Richard's column on march.\n\nControl Richard's army, and fend off Saladin. If

{HASTINGS_DESCR}Shortly after the beginning of the year 1066, King Harold Godwin
son sat uneasily on the throne of England. As well as the political machinations
of various powerful families within the realm, political leaders on the contine
nt, particularly in Denmark and Normandy, also had designs on the crown. Harold'
s predecessor, Edward the Confessor, had been a sympathiser of William Duke of N
ormandy. Harold himself had been rescued from captivity in France by the Duke, a
nd had subsequently sworn fealty to him. These two factors, coupled with support
from the Papacy, gave Duke William reason to believe that when the childless Ed
ward died, the crown of England would be his. However, amidst rumours of strong-
arm tactics, Harold was crowned king on January 6th 1066, the day of Edward's de
ath.\n\nOutraged, William began to prepare an army and invasion fleet to take by
force the kingdom that he maintained was his by right. In the meantime, Harold
was busy dealing with other threats to his realm. His brother Tostig joined with
King Harald Hardrada of Norway in a concerted attack against York in early autu
mn of 1066. Harold marched the 190 miles from Wessex to York in 5 days to defeat
the invaders. Duke William's Norman fleet landed shortly afterwards on the sout
h coast. Harold set off on another forced march southwards to challenge the new
invaders. On the morning of the 14th October 1066 the two armies clashed on the
Santlache (sandy stream) ridge near the present day town of Battle in East Susse
x. The subsequent battle and the seismic effect it was to have on the kingdom of
England lead the Normans to rechristen the site Senlac Ridge, or 'Blood Lake'.

{HASTINGS_TUTORIAL_DEMO_DESCR}William, Duke of Normandy, assembled a mighty inva

ford Bridge, driving out the invading Vikings and their King. He now was forced
to march his battle-wearied troops south to meet the Norman Invasion and defend
his crown.\n\nLead the Normans in the battle for the English crown and determine
the fate of England...

{HATTIN_DESCR}In 1187, the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem had been established fo
r nearly a century, and existed in an uneasy state of truce with the powerful ne
ighboring potentate Saladin. However, persistent raiding by the Crusaders meant
that open warfare soon broke out, prompting Saladin to invade the Crusader lands
, and besiege the fortress of Tiberius. Ignoring advice to be cautious, the newl
y crowned king Guy, assembled his entire force, and set out to its relief.\n\nWi
th his army tired and parched from the desert heat, Guy headed for the village o
f Hattin, where a spring would bring relief. Anticipating this move though, Sala
din sent his nephew Taqi al Din with part of his army to block the Crusaders pat
h, while another division harassed them from the rear.\n\nControl Saladin's army
, and prevent the Crusaders from reaching Hattin. If you do, then thirst will co
mpel this powerful army to surrender, and Jerusalem will be yours for the taking
.

{OTUMBA_DESCR}Commissioned by the Governor of Cuba to lead an expedition, Hernn C
orts set sail for Mexico on January 18, 1519.\n\nAfter initial contact with Corts,
many Aztecs, including the Aztec leader Moctezuma II, believed that Corts was, i
n fact, an emissary from Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god-king, or Quetzalcoatl himse
lf.\n\nCorts also made contact with the Tlaxcalans, who saw Corts as a liberator w
ho could free them from the Aztecs. Despite the Spanish having spilled much Azte
c blood, Corts and his men were greeted and housed by Moctezuma II with great pom
p and ceremony at the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.\n\nLater, the Aztecs, resen
ting the Spaniards' control over Moctezuma and the city, revolted against the Sp
anish and their allies, who fought to escape the Aztec capital. This bloody nigh
t was to become known as La Nocha Triste - the sad night.\n\nTwo weeks following
La Nocha Triste, after being shadowed and harassed all the way by vengeful Azte
cs, Corts and his allies crossed a small mountain range, only to find a vast Azte
c horde waiting for them in the Otumba valley below. The Aztec force consisted o
f various Chieftains and their hosts, led by a formidable-looking warrior named
Cihaucu.\n\nAfter solemn prayers, Corts instructed his men to target the Aztec Ch
ieftains, knowing that without their leaders the Aztecs were likely to lose hear
t, or at least become confused and disordered.\n\nThe outnumbered alliance, enco
uraged by Corts and the superior technology of the Spaniards, made its way onto t
he plains of Otumba, ready to fight for their very lives.\n\nLead Hernn Corts and
his Spanish force to destroy the Aztec armies, Corts' survival is essential.

{PAVIA_DESCR}In 1494, France's attempt to seize the crown of Naples had begun a
cycle of conflicts known as the Italian Wars. Some 30 years later, the war still
smouldered on, France's attention now turned towards the wealthiest Italian sta
te, Milan.\n\nFrancis, the new King of France, launched a campaign headlong into
the State of Milan, desperate to drive out the Imperial armies. In 1522, France
suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1524, France
returned and drove the Imperial garrison from Milan. Only one last Imperial bas
tion remained, the nearby city of Pavia.\n\nWith ownership of the state of Milan
in sight, King Frances pauses to rest and hunt before pressing on to Pavia and
a final showdown with the Imperial forces.\n\nYou must now lead the Imperial for
ces to stop the French domination of Italy!

{SETENIL_DESCR}The struggle against Moorish occupation of Spanish territories wa
s old even before the famed 'Reconquista'. With the coming of the 15th century,
intolerance towards Jews, heretics and Muslims began to rise dramatically throug
hout the Spanish kingdom. Adding to this, Crusading was back in favour with the
Papacy, thus the war against Muslim Granada was viewed favourably by many Christ
ians, with taxes being raised and volunteers urged to fight under the banners of
the Spanish states Castile and Aragon. With the Christians' renewed vigour towa
rds Reconquista, it came as little surprise that the Muslims fought for the Jiha
d, a holy war in the defence of their homeland. This warlike state stagnated int
o cross border raids and piracy with the border becoming a no man's land. All th
is was to change with the marriage of Isabella of Castile to Ferdinand of Aragon
in 1469. With the Spanish states united and focused towards destroying the Emir
ate of Granada, its continuing existence viewed as an insult to the Catholic Chu
rch, Queen Isabella zealously exhorted her husband to launch a fresh wave of the
Reconquista and work his way to the capital of Granada, leaving no enemy settle
ments behind him. Now, in the year of our lord 1484, he faces the fortress of Se
tenil, sitting on its rocky crag.\n\nLead Ferdinand and his Spanish army to conq
uer Setenil, bringing the Reconquista one step closer.

{TANNENBERG_DESCR}Founded during the Third Crusade in 1190, the Teutonic Order o
f Knights had a stronger national flavour than the other 'knights of Christ' and
it maintained strong ties with the Holy Roman Empire. When events in the Holy L
and began to go awry, the Order cast about for another theatre of operations. Th
e Prussian Crusade was launched in 1222, in response to a call for help from a P
olish nobleman beset by Prussian pagans.\n\nWith Papal support, they began to es
tablish their own state in the area, building a network of castles to reinforce
their authority. Growing stronger, the Order began to cast its avaricious gaze f
urther afield to the neighbouring states of Poland and Lithuania, the latter of
which was the largest surviving pagan state in Europe. The resulting series of c
rusades were easily the match of any previously seen in terms of barbarity on bo
th sides.\n\nDespite increased Papal displeasure at its actions, the Order's Gra
nd Master had no difficulties in attracting 'guest' crusaders from across Europe
to aid his forces in their onslaught.\n\nAs their strength grew though, changes
began to take place within the target states. In 1386 Wladyslaw Jagiello the Gr
and Duke of Lithuania came to the Polish throne. Beginning the conversion of Lit
huania to Christianity, he was able to remove a barrier between the two peoples
and create a powerful allied army.\n\nIn the summer of 1410, the allied army mar
ched into Prussia, determined to capture the Order's headquarters at Marienburg
and to destroy the Order utterly. Alerted to this threat, Grand Master Ulrich vo
n Jungingen gathered his forces and waited for the onslaught at a prepared posit
ion near the villages of Tannenberg and Grunwald.
