RAISING
THE STANDARDS
fter you click on the Proceed
A
Icon, your Faction raises its
standard, proclaiming its can-
didacy for power. It is 1453 and Mar-
garet of Anjou has just produced an
heir for Henry VI. The Yorkists see
their chance to seize the throne slip-
ping away. The times are out of joint;
“let slip the dogs of war. ."
The other Factions, your opponents
in the race for power, raise their stan-
dards likewise. Depending on which
option you selected at the start, they
show their hand either before or after
you have deployed your forces.
Observing the Enemy
You can keep an eye on the other
Factions using the All-Britain Map
(which shows the location of each army
with a dot of its Faction color) and the
Review option.

icon on the main panel (see page 28).
This works exactly the same as the

(see page 23).
