    I pinned the Khan, once, and not in the fraternity sororiety way, either. I chased him through four provinces with my throw away army (a group of spears and archers and swords and junk that was all outmoded; I combined all of them together and sailed them into Georgia, while my new modern armies kicked it back in old Snorri-land. All those hard-bitten mean-ass crotchety old generals, all sitting around, madder than hell that they're being phased out, and I drop them into Georgia... on a whim. The Khan runs like a squealing pig, so I naturally chase him). After taking the fourth province, I manage to get the guy into battle. I've got 6 longbow troops, each trained in close combat longbow take-downs and other longbow special forces tactics that flew in on an aging Russian Tupolov, and they're specifically tasked with one thing: Put an arrow through the Khan's neck.

    They succeeded, they did.

    I expected the whole khanate to collapse in dust, but they guy had spawned an heir.

    I gotta say the best battle i've ever had came from HTW. It was 6,000 of my brave spartan warriors against an upwards of 15,000 persians. After round after round of renforcements, and it had to be a bride battle to, both sides were uttly exhauseted. The battle ended up with them suffering around 12,000 casulties to my 2,000. God that was a great battle.

    It was with the Mongols, when they invaded one of my castles and I had to hold them off for so long fighting tooth and nail for every inch and not losing time after time after time, even when they had re-inforcements. That was a winning streak I'll remember and one for the ages.

    I had a group of battles like that, but mine were fought on a bridge in Kiev. The first year the Horde out numbered my forces 3 to 1. They were beaten back, but I had some losses from all there missile. The next year they came with a bigger force. My army held for a long time but they finale broke through on my side of the river. I had not units left, as I had thrown every thing at the mouth of the bridge. Lucky I was able to take Kiev back the next year as I had fresh troops arrive.
