The situation at the beginning of the second turn.

[Dez]

The second turn of the campaign! The intrigue led to two battles at the end of the turn. Margaret of Anjou went to York. The Lancastrians could not allow the Yorkists to gather large forces in Tamworth, and even to save King Henry. Beaufort did not wait for Margueret with the Scots, and marched toward Tamworth, where the Yorkists concentrated. On the way, militiamen from the north frankly engaged in robbery, so that the level of Campaign Confidence grew among Yorkists by 1. There came reinforcements to Yorkists in Tamworth. Opponents began preparing for the battle. Yorkists sent Edward March to the south, which would block the road into the interior of England, landed French mercenaries. Jasper Tudor, who met James Butler Earl of Wiltshire with the mercenaries, was forced to attack March under Cardigan ... So at the end of the second turn two battles were outlined: under Cardigan and at Tamvorte ...
