Event cards are drawn after the Orders of Battle are prepared for each side, but before the tabletop is prepared for battle. Draw a card for each tabletop battle until a Jack-Ace or a suit relating to the location is revealed:

Club: if in France
Diamond: if in Wales
Heart: if in Scotland
Spade: if in England

Hostility DR modifiers apply only if the region has not been beaten twice in a row. Should a change in troop type leave a single stand of that troop type, change the results to allow the minimum 2 stand unit to be deployed. References to “English” mean Edward’s army. Garrison points joining Edward may be used for any unused allowable troops from the English list. If Edward’s army is smaller than his opponent, the English player may elect to eliminate one of the conditions in the Event drawn.

Troop descriptions indicate number of figures per stand and amount of protection (e.g., “3FMC” = 3 fully mailed cavalry figures per stand); morale class (e.g., “Warrior”); training (e.g., “irregular”), and weaponry (e.g., “lance & shield”). All die rolls refer to 6-sided die.
