Ouch! 16ME lost in one bound - posted by John van den Hoeven, 15 November 2020

I don't know how much of you have lost 16 ME out of one command in 1 turn but my Northern Dynasty Chinese managed it against Doug Smith's Mongols yesterday. 5 RegKnX,1 RegKnX general and 2 Reg LhF fighting RegCvS.The command went from ok to shattered instantly, oh well good game anyway its always good playing Doug.

  Easy. 8 Spartiates in one turn against romans. I think I lost 20 Spartiates in one bound in one game - that’s 40 ME to BdS and KnS in one bound. Nice if you’ve got a quick kill. Not so nice if you don’t. Still, on a positive note, I can tell if my opponent’s head’s level as the slobber comes out of both corners of their mouth at the same time. . Not that I’m bitter.

  Caltrops work very well against the Mongols
