Paul Okay, okay, I'll tell you the concubine story (short version)... Many years ago, Sun Tzu, China's greatest general, was ordered to the court of the new...
Oh God He just told me the story. Can you believe that? And now I'm left wondering if it was the basis of CO obliqueing for Levy troops! Oh God... P ... the ...
... Yes. Glad he did too, I rather enjoyed it. ... How about a house rule that obliquing levies lose a point of Strength because those who didn't do it ...

IMO Mongol Cavalry should be given LB in their list, as the Mongol compound bow required a pull of almost 170lb (more than the English longbow), and had an...

I have to disagree, it was their discipline and professionalism (Don't let the 700 years of stereotyped history or their appearance fool you.) Dave Peterson ...
