Early Crusaders (1099CE) vs Early Archaememinds (522BCE) - posted by Julian Hannam, 3 February 2025

Early Crusaders (1099CE) vs Early Archaememinds (522BCE) in a last (not desperate, no!) effort to understand our armies, oh and the rules. Luckily the Rules have been translated from the original cuneiform with some translation issues still lingering. Keith V Trye ably assisting with his always useful advice, mostly ignored by the elder Hannam as usual.

An honourable time-out draw, both armies intact. Only some light troops, one BdS and a few BwX harmed. Ok, if I'm telling the full story the dismounted Knights were "head down, shields up" moving towards Immortals, who then fell in combat.
