June 10th 1358 Battle of Mello Wargame

During the 100 Years’ War, French peasants attempted to rise up and remove the nobles in the Northeast of Paris. 4,000- 5,000 lightly armored peasants attacked noble houses and castles, stealing their wealth. The Nobles of the region responded in force. In real life, the French killed the peasant leader, and the lines broke nearly instantly. What if they hadn’t?
