Woohoo

Sinai and Tripoli have fallen

The MVPs so far appear to be Jinettes and Steppe Cavalry (with able assistance from mounted sergeants) all as little armour upgrades as possible. Very little in the way of foot appears to be reqd, as the AI doesn't want to use skirmishers hand to hand until they're out of arrows. Longbowmen and arbs make mincemeat af lightly armoured turks. The tables are turned. Maybe I will paint the map red after all...
