We played the "A Gentle Stroll" scenario from Lion Rampant last night using Hundred Years War figures by Old Glory. The English (Gabe) had to move half of their units from the upper left hand corner of the below picture to the lower right. The French (me) were deployed in the other two corners and needed to prevent at least half of the English from escaping.
To help move things along, we "house-ruled" that both sides' leaders had the "Commanding" skill, which allows a unit to re-roll one failed activation per turn if within 12" of the leader model. As units were spread out this was sometimes useful and sometimes not.
Both leader units clashed early on in a knight vs knight melee. The French got the worse of it.
But by the late stages of the game both leaders were out of the game and the large French force which had trouble moving early started to roll into action.
Things got a little touch-and-go for the English for a second but in the end the billmen and a unit of archers slipped away. We're not really sure who actually one because half of English units escaped but half were also destroyed.
