Nice report, but that lucky bastard (again).
Historically Hastings was such a close battle, lasting all day, when most were over and done with in a couple of hours.

Thanks. Yes, this was one of those quicky ones! And the Bastard was lucky again, whereas Harold had used all his up in the previous battle! For the sake of the campaign, however, I'm grateful there wasn't another upset.
