	Nicolle - Poitiers
		The Battle of Poitiers generally sits in the middle of the Holy Trinity of English longbow victories of the Hundred Years War, flanked by Crecy and Agincourt.
		I found the battle maps took a bit of getting used to; the very detail of the computer generated "countryside" does not entirely mesh with the more traditional depiction of armies and their sub units as static blocks of colour whose movements have to be shown by arrows.
		The text naturally focuses on the battle and the campaign which led up to it; the sections designed to set it in the wider historical context (especially that which seeks to trace the consequences of the French defeat) are at times rather rushed and over compressed.

		It was the raid in 1356 by the heir to the English throne, the Black Prince, that led to the Battle of Poitiers.
		Like most Medieval battles, Poitiers was fought in a very small area and these 3-D maps are better designed for "larger" battles of the 18th or 19th Century (keeping in mind that no Medieval tactical weapons had ranges beyond a few hundred meters).
		The battle scenes by Graham Turner are excellent, but it would have been better to have an "action" scene of the French attack at Poitiers rather than the relatively bland scene of English looting.

		Perhaps his greatest victory of all would come four years later at the Battle of Assaye, when he subdued the Maratha Confederacy, in spite of the fact that his 13,500 men were outnumbered (by three to one), out-horsed, and out-gunned.

		This complaint can certainly be leveled against the sources describing the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 A.D. The disparities surrounding nearly every aspect of the engagement make any positive statement dubious.
		To begin with several of our sources can be dismissed because their treatment of this facet of the battle is either described in a most cursory manner or is not detailed at all.
		From this source we would also surmise that he left before the battle started, as he was far in the rear after his division had already been engaged.
