Overview

Heroes & Kings brings together four battles from the series Au Fil de l’Epée, previously published in DTP by Canons en Carton, in revisited and redesigned versions. They feature the celebrated heroes and kings of the French Middle Ages: William the Conqueror, Saint Louis, du Guesclin and Joan of Arc. Heroes & Kings puts players at the head of small armies dominated by powerful knights. These short and varied battles require both risk taking and a solid tactical sense: William of Normandy at Val ès Dunes (1047) Saint Louis (Louis IX) at Taillebourg (1242) du Guesclin at Cocherel (1364) Joan of Arc at Patay (1429) —description from the publisher
