Freedom!!!!

> The Scots, trained by French mercenaries, were told to fight in tight blocks of 10,000 men, armed with unfamiliar 28ft long European pikes, said Chris.

The English were much more comfortable with the 5ft billhooks they used for farming, and sliced off the business end of the Scots pikes before wading into the bogged-down Scottish ranks.<

How the mighty have fallen. Ze Fwench had the natural instinct for war, training even the earliest colonials on trench warfare..now, the only thing they’re good for is surrendering. (Well, this time the Germans are the “new” French)
