Imports in well - looks good and is an interesting region with forces I am not familiar with.

I'll definitely put it on my play list.


Thanks,

You are welcome. Yes it is an interesting battle. Caucasus is an mountain area so much more MF's than HF's. Also have to explain that Armenians are also weaker than Sadjids, and that is because they were really in bad conditions in that battle. However i had a paired match with allendeuce (Thank you) in which both of us were very close to win with our Armenians. Armenians are closer to hils because they choose the battlefield and they were the defenders. The only unrealistic thing about the battle is the morale of the armenian group around Musegh. In fact they were "traitors" and they left the battlefield in a critical momeny, leaving Musegh alone in the hills without a way out (he captured and after that he executed).On the other hand Ashot was able to rout safetly because he was led a cavarly army. On the other hand Yusuf's main cavarly are mostly cav-archer because he had a important Mameluk army (Samarra period...)
