The Game of Battle of Hastings, 1066

The online game of battle of Hastings is mainly about using different strategies. You can play this game in Harold G's point of view or William's point of view. When the battle starts, some options of plans are given, you need to think and choose which strategy fits each occasion. In order to win this game, you need to choose correct strategy every time. What I enjoyed about this game was the different strategies that Normans and the English used. They were very brutal and tricky. However, since we studied what happened in Battle of Hastings in class, I was able to reach the victory. Also, I learned new strategies used in the battle of Hastings and if they were success or not. During The Battle of Hastings the English or the Saxons made a shield wall to protect themselves from Normans. Later on, the Normans were able to break the shield wall and retreat because Normans thought William (their leader) has died, and the Saxons broke the shield wall and chased the Normans to see if the death of William was fake or not. In fact, William was still alive! Eventually the Normans turned around, attacked the English and killed Harold G. William was won the battle of Hastings. I think this type of game is a valuable learning experience because we can learn what happened in battle of Hastings and the strategies that Normans and English used.
