There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Never use Ghazis as ambushers, they don't hide very well.

Funnily enough I always use them as ambushers, though they might take it upon themselves to charge without orders if that's what you're referring to?

I think that's what The Don was talking about yes. You know as well as I that Ghazis sometimes have a tendency to be overly....enthusiastic.Funnily enough I always use them as ambushers, though they might take it upon themselves to charge without orders if that's what you're referring to?

Never charge arbalesters with your precious knights. You think they'll reach them in time, and then the bolts drop them like flies. Nasty.

Never Ever Engage a massively superior force unless you have a death wish.... oh isnt that obvious?

Gah, that's half the fun: 5,000 Turks vs 50,000 Mongols - those were the days!

Re: Things you just never do in battles.
Never engage Turkish, Cuman, GH, or Arabic armies of Horse Archers. At all.
And never bother engaging the home-sitting family army of 7 Royal Knights with a 4 star King, which can normally be found in Scotland, or Denmark. They will tear you up. Unfairly.
Oh and never engage armies in an isolated, last-ditch-defence position, like in Armenia, or Bohemia.
It will have you in tears.
