Play it if you…
Good fit- Strategy players who want campaigns based on medieval conflicts between France and neighboring powers
- Players who prefer commanding varied historical-style armies rather than a single unit type

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad grand-strategy system may hit a wall at the mission-based campaign structure
- Players who want a large roster of modern or fantastical units may find the medieval army scope restrictive
- Players looking for a story centered outside France, Flanders, Navarre, and Aragon may find the regional focus narrow
Our take on Medieval Battle: Europe
The bounce point arrives for players expecting a broad map-level war simulator: the game organizes its content into fixed campaigns and missions. Those who want modern armies or settings beyond France, Flanders, Navarre, and Aragon may also stop at its tightly defined medieval scope.

Missions cover Charles II of Navarre’s political ambitions, the Franco-Flemish War from 1297 to 1305, Aragon’s defense against two French crusades, and its later campaign against Navarre.
