I wanted to show ya guys this pic of a typical stack that is waiting for the fateful year of 1231...

The stack I'm showing is my Grand Duke (playing Lithuania)

as you can see, I have Boyars.. and LOTS of them. I also have loads of Varangian guards, Halberders, mounted crossbowman, Pavice arbelesters and others...so with 18 stacks, I will meet the Mongols espected 19 stacks...

What I love about this stack?

Look at the nice Valor.. 4's and 5's for full units..:). My Prince has a 9 valor and high armor. The Grand Duke has 7 Valor and 8 command..:)

As you can see from the strategic map, there are 3 super-powers, me, the french and the Byz.

The French are the richest, the Byz have the biggest military, and I am the tech geek...and the 3 of us are allied together..:)

Here is the question...

When they arrive next turn. Should I...

a) keep Khazar and go straight after them
b) Blow out Khazar and then go after them in case I loose?
c) play defensive and force them to go south toward "weaker" provs...lol.. who are owned by the Byz
d) something else?
