A new pair-up

[FierceKitty]

The late Arabs are having a last crack at conquering Sassanid Persia before the Prophet (peace be upon him) turns up.

[FierceKitty]

Sensible light infantry occupying the ruins of Babylonian temple. They and allied Hebrew javelinmen were still alive when all else was lost a few moves later.

[FierceKitty]

Slugging match. Things looked hopeful for my Arabs for a while, but that Persian armour has GREAT staying power.

The depressing closing stages....

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

One does wonder how the real Arabs did conquer the near east and North Africa.

The depressing closing stages....

Do you ever beat Lee ?  .....Good grief, man.

If you were any closer...I'd play any card game against you.

Cheers - Someone who can strip 4 aces.....or whichever cards you want, from a pack.

These ones weren't yet religious fanatics, and they were facing Persians not worn out by wars against the Byzantines and by civil unreast.
