Warring States battle

[FierceKitty]

Qin and Han are marching onto the field. Can the Kitty maintain his winning military streak (3-0), or was his humiliating defeat yesterday evening at chess a sign of things to come? Watch these pages, gentle reader, and all shall be revealed.

[Techno]

We await with anticipation.

5 to 4 on, on Lee.

3 to 1, Alexander.

Cheers - Phil

I know you will loose

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Go Lee

[FierceKitty]

I know you will loose.

I didn't loose anything. I did, undeniably, lose. 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

I can foretell the future ! 

[FierceKitty]

1) Ch'in prepare for usual massed impetuous head-hunting charge.
2) Han admire their new high-tech Sitting Tigers. As it happens, they caused some casualties on my barbarian auxilliaries, but didn't affect the outcome much.

[FierceKitty]

1) On the Han left, the Kuaile Xiaohua patrols the new river. The name means "Happy Little Flower", and is the Chinese transltion of the Thai name "Krisanan" (Lee's real name).
2) I had hopes of turning the Han flank with more Xiong-Nu allies. There's also an ambush in the trees.

[FierceKitty]

5) Shihuang Ti waits for the right moment.
6)  The prince led the Ch'in cavalry onto the opposite force, encouraged by good omens. The Hsiung-Nu stood by to tie down the Han chariots. Then control broke down and the barbarians just stood there while the chariots saved their horsemen. Never trust cheap Chinese omens!

[FierceKitty]

7) Frankly, I thought the Han were cutting their own heads off, advancing so far ahead of their foot.

[FierceKitty]

8,9) We sent their cavalry reeling, and launched an ambush (which failed to make any impression).

[FierceKitty]

10) Failure of barbarian cavalry support got us taken in flank; then the barbarians themselves were carved up.
11) Our chariots broke though, but the rest of the army was breaking up by now.

[FierceKitty]

NOT the same battle.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice
