One thing we liked at first glance was the epic structure of some of the missions. Like the time you have to endure through a forceful English invasion on Orleans. A great host of enemy soldiers has been sited on the horizon and you're authorized to protect the citizens of Orleans at all costs (especially those hot French women - oooh la-la!). The English have strengthened their lines with mighty siege weaponry and it's only a matter of time before they brake through. Until they do so, you may man the walls with archers and even climb up there with Joan and other hero characters, in order to take out as many soldiers before they storm the inner-city. Once the gate crumbles, your foes will rush into Orleans though a narrow passageway. This gives you another good opportunity to weaken their ranks before they invade the town streets and start executing civilians by the numbers. Another interesting battle situation was when we had to invade a huge English castle. The best way to approach the fort was to divide our forces into two groups, thereby gaining the element of surprise. While Joan and Jean De Metz sneaked up from behind, "Le Hire" and the Duke of Alencon assailed the main gate. Although we had many casualties, the battle resulted in a well-deserved victory (and there was much rejoicing… Yaay!). (YAAAY - rejoicing - YAAAY!! - Ed.).
