yeah .....  2 right and both of them were guesses though I think a I spelt Alsace (sp?) wrong
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!

Majored in History so... 15  :-[

5/15. Not too bad considering I've never done any research on this topic.

However, most were guesses.  :D

Why would you not know this war inside out?!?!   :o

Surely such a vital part of your history is mandatory in school?

Oh, hang on...here in the UK we don't even appear to teach our kids ANY history.  Not 'cool' enough.   :-[ >:( ;D
