This was set during The 100 Years War - somewhere in southern France. Four, competing warbands descended on the County of Toulouse to create mayhem.
But first we had to set-up:

Each of the 32 point warbands had a camp, located in the corner of the table.

Some were mainly foot soldiers but one was exclusively mounted:

The defenders were centred around the Count's castle:
You can see, left, the coveted "Holy Grail' trophy we were competing for.

Victory points were gained by destroying defender units & the units of rivals. Bonus points were gained by burning villages, capturing fleeing peasants & livestock but the biggest bonus was gained for capturing the good Count & his lady after slaying their paladin in single combat.

Suffice it to say, a great day of gaming was had, with lots of interest from passing spectators.
The game will be repeated tomorrow.
