I decided to use my Normans selecting the Norman list but with Sicilian options for first game and then the 'proper' Norman Kimgdon in Sicily list for second game.
Been awhile since I used Normans and good to get them on table again, they were first 'Ancients' army I ever collected/painted being a mix of 2 starter armies (One Essex the other Minifigs) and bought back around 1987/88 I think and for 7th Edition.
First game the Normans faced a Berber force (with wall of supported spear) and whilst my Normans managed to get in enmasse (I had 10 Knights and favourable terrain ie mostly open) they of course failed to deal with Berbers.
Although it was quite bloody in the end with Berber suffering 17 VP losses (26 units) when my 22 unit army was defeated.
Second game was against a Feudal English force with mix of Knights, Longbowmen and a Welsh ally, bit of an anachronistic match up for my tastes but still fun game.
Again I got all my Knights into action all along the line (good terrain again) but again failed in the combats and again pretty bloody with my small (20 unit) army succumbing after inflicting 16 VPs on English (24 units in size)
