| That was loads of fun! I keep playing it over and over, choosing to be Harold and William, and changing my tactics. My first instincts as Harold kept the battle going far longer than any other approach, so I guess I wouldn't make such a bad general. (Note: do NOT charge blindly down the hill. You will die quickly and unceremoniously.) If only my shield wall had held... I coulda been a contenda! I was hoping for a different historical outcome, but I suppose that couldn't happen. It's like reading "Romeo and Juliet" again and again and hoping for a less tragic end.
BTW, there was a really interesting episode of "Battlefield Detectives" on the History Channel (maybe the International HC?) a few months ago that sought to explain what happened on the field at the Battle of Hastings, and why Harold lost. If you get a chance to catch it, you should. According to the show, the topography of the surrounding area played a key role. I'm not sure how muchs tock I place in that theory, but it was interesting.
