on M/VH, Lusted Lands to Conquer, A Jihad was called on Jerusalem where my meagre garrison of 800 malita and 4 peasant archers and two generals were faced with aful stack of Turks. They had 3 Armenian archers, 2 Mamaluk, 1 camel archers, 3 spears, 3 javelins, and a general.
On my first effort I drew them towards the walls and took out a good number of thier ranged units. This prompted me to bring out my forces to face them. Howver with a slow advance i seemed to suffer too many casualties and eventually lost.
Second try I did an auto-complete and I won a heroic victory.
So I tried again, this time I just charged the turks and thier general with everything I had. I killed the general and routed them within a few minutes.
This leads me to believe that sometimes the only tactics are arcade style, rush the general.
