I actually started my own KoJ VH/VH campaign after reading the first part of your AAR. I've been a bit more aggressive than you, immediately taking Damascus and Homs so I could slaughter their double reinforcement stacks in relative peace.

The KoJ unit roster is very powerful, even if their position is compromised. I'm quite impressed; quality spearmen, cheap crossbowmen, and loads of heavy cavalry. In particular their spears make it all the more clear how pathetic the Rajput spears are in comparison.

Keep up the good work!
