Sadly, this is a completely accurate description of how Hollywood thinks medieval battles work. It's right up there with wildly swinging shields around.

Just minor hint for improvement. You have to put your siege weapons in front of your infantry, so you can't protect them and also make ditches behind your infantry, so that they can't move back. ☝️

Here are some facts... Medieval rulers often relied on the concept of divine right to legitimize their authority. This belief held that monarchs were chosen by God to rule, and therefore, their power was not to be questioned or challenged by their subjects. This notion of divine right played a significant role in shaping the medieval political landscape and influencing the relationships between rulers and their subjects.

@@LocalDeepstateAgent most tactics are variations of that or are counters to it that rely on terrain. Even the Roman’s basically used a smaller more flexible variant of the phalanx during the early republic why? Because it’s the most sane thing to pack men together in tight rows. That didn’t change for the infantry ever. The cavalry was used to break infantry by squeezing them from the front and back ie hammer and anvil. The archers were there to pick off light infantry and cavalry. You see the point I’m making? You could have as many varied formations as you’d like adapted to the field this sums up what you’re going to be doing 90% of the time.

But this is it, here is were it all ends up. Sure you move about until you think the charge will work. It also has todo with able commanders, the languages and cultures of the troops, their composition, training, the terrain, and numbers. Battles of this sort tends not to be recorded, but there are hundreds of examples where both armies form up... then just charge eachother, the winner being the one who had better timing.

Frontal assaults were often used, however, they were usually slow, disciplined, approaches, not just sprinting at the enemy. Also generals even 1000 years ago we’re very familiar with using terrain to their advantage, the importance of having high ground and defensive positions, and how to use different types of trips for different scenarios. There were definitely times when I charge was warranted, however, it was usually not at the beginning of the battle, nor was straight into the enemy.
