Terrain affects combat through additions to or subtractions from the attack or defense factor. Thus, the Normans are weakened when attacking up Senlac Hill, while the Saxons are strengthened attacking down it. The Combat Results Table is bloody enough for a battle that was fought for the most part without the fiddly flanking moves that produce ZOC-kills. The Norman arrow supply and Saxon Hand-held missiles rules add flavor to a bloody shoving match.
