Lately, I’ve been diving into Joan of Arc: Time of Legends, and our most recent session brought us to the iconic Battle of Crécy. If you’re familiar with the history, you know this was a critical battle where English strategy, terrain, and weather worked together to devastating effect on the French forces.
