Battle plan

Towton asks House of Lancaster to preserve its allied towns and stronghold as Yorkist forces attack from several directions. The medal is based on the number of buildings still standing, so protecting outlying settlements matters even when the central army is safe. The opening scouting attacks determine whether the optional Conqueror challenge is activated; keep a force ready to respond along more than one route.
