Excellent, Smithers!

Spiff, I was never exactly a great player, but isn't an army of expensive units standing still just begging for a siege weapon? True, they could outrange 'em, but faced with that I'd have just used a trebuchet to splatter the monks one by one and force the Jannies to charge or run.

The whole army would have charged, including the monks (they're at the centre of the square)

And I always made sure I had some light cavalry to destroy whatever siege weapon annoyed me.

Try playing the castle blood scenario, my korean war wagons will destroy any unit you care to throw at them ( short of 200 elite war eles where i might need a few onagers )

Plus it's the only source I've encountered for graphic descriptions of what happens when Cataphracti, pikemen, longbowmen, knights, and two or three modern artillery pieces join forces against fifty thousand nomadic horsemen

Who won ?

Ahem.

This threadjack is invalid!

The cataphracti et al, after a very tense battle...they were divided into three separate groups which couldn't communicate in terrain which severely limited visibility.
