Strategy & Tactics #110
Hastings: 1066
The Battle of Senlac Hill
(Last TSR S&T Issue)
Hastings, 1066 is a tactical simulation of the confrontation between William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy, and King Harold Godwineson of Wessex, a battle that forever changed the face of the world. William and his combined forces of Normans, Bretons, French and Flemings, is moving on London. His way is blocked by the hastily assembled Saxon army of Harold, fresh from victory over the Danes at Stamford Bridge. The victor will be King of England.
In this game, the armies are divided into nationalities (Normans) or wings (Saxons). The ability of each nationality or wing to move and attack is restricted by the formation or "order" it adopts. These are influenced by the strategy each player selects at the start of each game turn. Over the course of the battle, the choice of strategy will cumulatively affect the fatigue level and morale of the troops.
