I understand the 12-8-6-4 is for wins but what about ties and losses? Could the winner of D be a higher rank than the loser of A?

Ties or draws score half the number of rating points, defeats score no rating points. So the winner of a D match would score more points than the loser of an A match, but over the course of a season where some players will play around 30 matches it is most likely that A players will accrue many more rating points than D players. One win for an A player gets as many rating points as 3 wins for a D player.

Despite our armies being roughly the same size, it seemed to me that wherever I looked there was a Scotsman with a grievance...

Thanks for a great game. lydianed

Osman 1 1258-1326

Osman I was the leader of the Ottoman Turks, and the founder of the dynasty that established and ruled the Ottoman State. Osman became chief, or Bey, upon his father’s death in 1281. By this time, mercenaries were streaming into his realm from all over the Islamic world to fight against the weakening Byzantine Empire. In addition, the Turkic population of Osman's emirate were constantly reinforced by a flood of refugees, fleeing from the Mongols. Of these, many were Ghazi warriors, or fighters for Islam, border fighters who believed they were fighting for Islam. Under the strong and able leadership of Osman, these warriors quickly proved a formidable force, and the foundations of the Empire were quickly laid.

long and fierce struggle between the descendants of Osman and Karamanogullari princes for ascendancy commenced in Osman’s lifetime, extending through the reigns of many of his successors. Osman himself had gained some advantages over his Karamanli rival; but the weak and wealthy possessions of the Byzantine Emperor in northwest Asia Minor were more tempting marks for his ambition than the Karamanoglu plains, and it was over the cities and armies of the ailing Byzantine Empire that the triumphs of the last 26 years of Osman’s life were achieved.
