Ill Born Fen Rat!

1066 is a middle ages warfare game about when the England was invaded by the Vikings and the Normans. In the game, you can play in story mode, it will tell you the history of 1066 and you get to play in the battles as: the Vikings, who won the battle when they landed in England. Then you play as the Saxons, who fought against the Vikings and won at Stamford Bridge and the last battle was when you played as the Normans and beat the English army. In real life back in 1066, how the Normans won was because of their strategy which was pretending to retreat so the English broke their shield wall to chase the Normans. But then the Normans turn around and killed the English soldiers. I learned many interesting facts and what they armies might have said as taunts on the battlefield. I enjoyed this game because of the videos between the battles which were full of facts and was fun to watch. I think this game should be played before we start the 1066 unit in class.
