In the first field battle, I talked about our flanking of what I think was the Aethelmearc army:

Fortunately, I found a 1st person video of it (taken by my friend Albert......uh.....ignore the taking during the hold). I think its clear that we did very well in this battle, despite eventually losing. Keys to success, IMO, were:
Smart tactical decision moving in on the flank
Being fast and mobile because of our loose skirmish approach
Melee skills (there was a *lot* of melee experience in that group).
Great balance of weapons (constant back and forth between the use of spears and shields)
Anyway, check out the video (note, this is the first field, not the 2nd, despite the title.

And we also have footage of the second field battle, but from a different perspective. In this one you can see us hit a small group of people on the flank, and then after killing them, moving down the hill to engage the flank of the main unit.

We come in right at the 1 minute mark. We're in the foreground in either green and gold, or black and white.
