Commentary: Anglo-Saxons is a faction with high defense potential. This works well with the fact that this faction has very good ranged units. Even one squad of Shieldbearers and one squad of archers can be a difficult opponent to defeat if they are placed in the right spots. Anglo-Saxons with developed economy and a few technologies can be difficult to beat during so called "endgame".
On the other hand, Anglo-Saxons can be easily surprised in the open field by the use of traps/cavalry. Another good thing to do is to attack them right from the start when Anglo-Saxons are weak and don't have enough warriors. Try to implement hit & run tactic - Anglo-Saxons have problems with reacting quickly to attacks.
