Scenario instructions Starting conditions This war had dragged on for one hundred years with precious few French victories. The city of Orléans is one of the finest in France, but it is under siege by our enemies, England and Burgundy, and it is about to fall. Wherever Joan goes, the standard goes also. Joan adopted the fleur-de-lis as her symbol and had it blazoned upon her battle standard. Still visible on the hilt was the fleur-de-lis. I was skeptical, but not only did the men unearth a rusted blade, but we found that the sword belonged to Charlemagne, grandfather of France. Joan instructed me to look for an ancient sword buried beneath the altar of a local church.

So that she may look like a general, the Dauphin presented Joan with a great warhorse and a suit of white armor. We were filled with pride when we heard the Dauphin's heralds pronounce Joan the Maid as Commander of the Army of France. It is entirely another for that girl to be given command of the army of an entire nation. It is one thing for a band of dispirited soldiers to put their trust in a teenage girl.
