If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Of course it's not, our games are detailed simulations of armed conflict through the ages, based on this principle I have, over many years of study, concluded that historically successful generals undoubtably cheated on a regular basis.  In fact I can prove that, without a shadow of doubt, Alexander turned up to Gaugamela with at least 3000 points more in his army than he'd previously agreed with Darius.

There was a young man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
When he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no-one around in the quad."

"Young man, your amazement is odd.
I am always around in the quad;
And therefore this tree
Continues to be,
Observed by, yours faithfully, God."

Reality problems solved, possibly, or not.

Hmmm. God is a sphere with centre everywhere and circumference nowhere, as Pascal observed with more imagination that geometry (it was Pascal, wasn't it?), whereas a quad is of course angular. Does God fit in and so leave non-divine angles as flaws in omnipresence, or does He overlap like a fat man in a small chair? Such wastefulness would suit imProvidence better than Providence.

No wonder religion's on the way out.

I see your point. The Almighty would not use the term "faithfully", would He?
