The Christian Princes march on from Nicaea only to come face to face with the full might of the Turkish hordes. Troops are drawn up along historical lines but will the outcome be the same?

Ah whoops that's a typo, thanks for pointing out, you are completely correct! I've updated it now to the correct date.
That's cheating ! ;)
Says someone who can alter any post of his own......and any others I feel like....(WHENEVER I want) :D
Though the bit at the bottom that says "Modified by Techno," is a bit of a giveaway.
Cheers - Phil ;)
Change your name in the forum temporarily to "nobody", then it'll be modified by nobody.
;D ;D ;D ;D
I still think that would be a bit of a giveaway, Matthew. ;)
Cheers - Phil
There was a very good scenario for this battle in SLINGSHOT in the 1980s; players were uncertain about unit strength until first contact and then an average die was used to determine how many hits the unit could absorb; die outcome adjusted for quality and type of unit. It worked very well.
Great stuff!
very inspirational
