Scotland Rising: Bannockburn 1314

This two-player wargame recreates the medieval battle of Bannockburn, with Robert the Bruce and King Edward II commanding opposing armies in the fight to relieve or maintain the siege of Stirling Castle. Knights are powerful but difficult to defeat, pikemen perform best in massed formations, archers provide ranged fire while needing protection, and axemen excel in close combat. Players maneuver units and inflict damage to achieve victory in a game designed to play in about 90 minutes.
