Clash of Crests - The Maid of Orléans

Seventeen years old. One white standard. One year.

In 1429 a farm girl from Domrémy told the Dauphin of France that she had been sent to raise the siege of Orléans and crown him at Reims. Within a year she had done both. Within two she was dead. This is her war, battle by battle, and one battle more than history allowed.

The Maid of Orléans: fifteen chapters

• The Voices: eleven days through Burgundian country to reach the Dauphin
  
• Audience at Chinon: find the king hidden among his own court
  
• Orléans: the convoy from Blois, the siege-forts, Fort Saint-Loup and the assault on Les Tourelles
  
• Patay: the field where the English longbow finally broke
  
• March to Reims and The Coronation of Charles VII
  
• Paris, Compiègne, The Trial and Rouen
  
• Vengeance at Gerberoy and the last battle, Castillon, 1453

Rescue the Maid: an alternate history in six chapters

At Compiègne the drawbridge went up with Joan on the wrong side of it. Make a different choice and her friends turn back for her, and a second campaign opens: the tower of Beaurevoir, a Burgundy divided, the Maid's return, Normandy, the Channel, and a battle before London.

Three standalone battles

• The Day of the Herrings: the Lenten supply convoy and the barrels that became a wall
  
• The Walls of Jargeau: ladders, a stone to the helmet, and the Maid back on her feet
  
• The Siege School: learn bombards, pavises, fascines, the ram and the ladders, one turn at a time

Four armies

• The Maid's Company: Joan, La Hire, the Bastard of Orléans, Gilles de Rais, Jean d'Alençon and her escort, playable as their own band
  
• France, England and Burgundy, 97 units in all, playable in skirmish, hotseat and LAN as well as the campaigns
  
• Joan grows with the campaign, gaining new abilities as chapters are won
  
• Siege engines and tools: the great bombard La Bergère, a covered ram, scaling ladders, pavises, archers' stakes and the herring wagons
  
• 24 battlefields, from the Loire forts and the streets of Reims to the moors of Gerberoy
  
• 10 Steam achievements
