    Default Re: What's the toughest battle situation you've faced(and won)?

    I don't remember most of the battle, but at the end I had one horse archer unit left and the AI had one Boyar unit left. The Boyars opted to stand off and shoot arrows, trusting to their armor to pull them through. To my surprise, my horse archers were winning the shoot out, probably because the Boyars had received casulties earlier in the fight. My HAs were losing as many guys, but they could afford to. Then the Boyars charged. I supposed logically I should have ran for it, but at an impulse I counter-charged and got lucky. The Boyars lost, the enemy Tsar was cut off in another province, and next turn I closed in on him for the ransom.

    I leave the clock on, even though I remember "losing" a battle because three guys rallied and hid in the woods and I never found them. I accept the occaisional ridiculous defeat as the price of keeping the clock on.

    In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .
