Near the village of Kernevez, an unexpected group of Welshmen (of the English army) has just entered the table (in the field at the bottom of picture)!
Le Pieu calls the group of armed peasants and tell them to approach the field with some of his own men, walking along the houses for protection...
…then to attack. The Welsh shoot at them, some peasants fall, the monk who was leading them falls. Instead of breaking their morale it makes them furious and they run into the field with some of Le Pieu's soldiers. Close melee fightings in the small field:
The Welsh are outnumbered, a few survivors run away.
At the same time, Gleievec is going back to his table edge, trying to get out of the valley. Le Pieu and his spearmen follow him far on his left, but they are too heavy to walk fast:
Gleievec now thinks that his troop will go away safely. On this picture we can see two surviving Welshmen (holding a standard of St-Georges) joining him; on the right, pro-French billmen and peasants crossing a ford to chase them; on the other side, behind the small wood, Le Pieu and his spearmen. Three English longbowmen have been ordered by Gleievec to act as a rearguard to prevent Le Pieu to come closer.
Le Pieu sees that he cannot catch the enemy troop before they reach the table edge, so he decides to attack this small rearguard alone!
He charges three times…
…the three longbowmen choose to run rather than shoot: they all die.
Both players have fulfilled their mission.
About the NPC forces: there was:
– Four deserters without allegiance (they were forced to join Le Pieu's troop; two of them died in the following fights, and when the skirmish was over Le Pieu said that he hangs the other two!)
– Eight Welshmen. Gleievec had been told (by his English allies off-table before the game) that a Welsh interpreter had been killed and as a result a group of Welshmen was lost because they didn't understand what they were told (two of their survivors joined Gleievec, one other ran off table).
– About 20 peasants, including two crossbowmen, who wanted to fight against the English (after their first attempt to ambush Gleievec, they joined Le Pieu's troop).
