Well last night after a few bottles of Leffe I managed to lead the Turks to an impetuous victory in Antioch and Tripoli. Yes it has now "kicked" off, with the dastardly Fatimids attacking Syria with a force 3 times my size. The camels won they day eventually. At one stage they were wavering badly, and I had my one unit of AHC and another of Ghulam Bodyguards (wothless heir) racing around to the enemy flank. Eventually it came to a big slug fest with the enemy general alone in the middle of my Turcoman Horse units, when suddenly down he goes and the lot of them begin to waver and rout. Giving them some encouragement by a simultaneous multi-flanked charge helped them to finally decide. And that was it. My next moves were against Antioch and Tripoli, I now have them at a disadvantage. Originally I was allied to both the Byzantine and Fatimids, the former abandoned their alliance when the latter attacked my faction. Now that I have the Fatimids on the run, the Byzantine will be next.

So a few beverages does no harm, though getting behind the controls after a serious session is not advisable. Camels aren't that good, there is only so much that camels can do after all especially under the control of a sloshed general. Camels are indeed god-like units, but with an inebriated general at their head they're as good as dead.
