We had more Lion Rampant action at the club on Monday. In this battle the Normans took on the Lombards, which resulted in a convincing victory for the Lombards.
In reality, the Normans were hindered by the reluctance of one unit of elite knights to move into action. They failed around 7 activation tests which left the rest of the army at the mercy of the effective Lombards. Even the normally lethal Norman Crossbowmen couldn't rescue the situation.
Eventually the hesitant knights launched into action and, in the final minutes of the game, had some success, but it was all for nought as the rest of their army battle line crumbled away.
Interestingly both commanders-in-chief were slain, which is perhaps just as well for all concerned.
