   At the start of the game select 'Start A Campaign' from the main
   menu, then select 'Displacement' from the second menu to enable
   movement of the army into another province.

   Moving into Orleanais sees the 'Battle in Open Country' arcade game
   begin (see hints below).

   On defeating the enemy, select 'Offensive' from the 'Start A Campaign'
   menu, and choose Orleans. The 'Entry Into Town' and 'Taking of the
   Wall' arcade sections begin (see hints below). Orleans must be taken
   before Joan can move to Rheims to crown the king.

   After the fall of Orleans, move into the Province of Champagne. Move
   the army north and attack each Province in turn, taking all towns and
   fortresses before moving on. Once the northernmost Province has been
   taken, move southwards repeating the process.

   Use hostages to make money to pay the army. Select 'Liberation' from
   the 'Diplomacy' menu, deal with Henry VI exclusively, use Tremoille
   and Regnault of Chartres as ambassadors and use the following list 
   as a guide to the amount of ransom to demand.

   Joan does not need an immense army to succeed : 2,000 archers and
   3,000 troops are enough. Mortars are also useful, but don't waste
   money on knights - they are expensive and aren't really needed.

   Don't waste time on taxes : collect only the Tithe tax when it is due
   in September. The amount isn't enough to pay the armies, but at least
   it avoids any uprisings.

   If a large army is in evidence, remember to evaporate it during any
   diplomatic bargaining, or else lots of money is lost unnecessarily.

   The Arcade Sections :-

   Entry Into Town
   Once this has loaded in, and before the screen changes, push right to
   get the man off to a running start, and keep pushing right all the
   time. When in combat range, press the fire button and keep it pressed
   until the enemy is defeated, and release it. The man then runs forward
   again until in combat range, and so on. Repeat this process until the
   town is entered.

   Taking of the Wall
   Again, start this before the screen changes. Push the joystick forwards
   continually, and the man should be halfway up the ladder before the
   first stone is thrown. Keep pushing up for the whole of the game, and
   use the fire button to shield the soldier from rocks.

   Defence of the Wall
   This is the one to master, since more enemy soldiers are destroyed this
   way than any other. Push the joystick forwards and press fire before
   the screen changes, to immediately start launching rocks. Use rocks
   wherever possible; otherwise use oil if time is short. Although the
   manual states that oil is limited, there are at least six cauldron's
   of oil at Joan's disposal.
