The troops you dispatch to fight for the high ground are quickly driven off by increasing numbers of Englishmen: they have more men close by than you do. It was a miscalculation on your part, but no great harm was done by making the attempt. You form your army carefully into lines as they come on the field: archers and crossbowmen in front, spearmen in the second line, and the mounted knights in the rear line. The divisions file through the pass between the marshy low ground on the east and west.
Above you the English are making a din, shouting "Out! Out! Out!" in time to the clashing of their weapons on shields. The two armies are now formed for battle facing each other across approximately 200 yards of open ground.
You worry that perhaps Harold will attack down the hill as your army is forming, but he remains in a solid, deep line up there on the ridge and watches while you deploy.
