Hi Hrothgar
My solution for win was:
1 - go with all the army (but not the irregular cavalry) on the rear
2 - win the scottish cavalry
3 - place on the hill back the scottish army the infantry and the cavalry
4 - move the archers in large formation at very close distance from the pike circles. So the enemy archers cannot hit my heavy troops, and my archers can destroy the moral of pikes.
5 - when a pike circle lost the head, he tryes to hit the archers, moving in square formation, at this point my inf and cav charge destroying him. the same for all other circles
6 - when the circles are destroyed, i make charge the archers from the irregular and infantry.
