Hello,
There's been a lot of talk about the MTW2 mod Broken Crescent recently, here and in a thread in the Citadel. After a bit of difficulty (on my end, not their's) I managed to download and install the mod today.

I thought people might appreciate seeing the mod in action, the new units, factions, etc. so I'll be writing an AAR of my first campaign. I have only a vague idea of what's changed gameplay-wise, and decided to try a fairly small faction, so there's a fair chance I won't succeed, hence the name of the AAR.

My intended victim...er...faction? The relatively unassuming Kingdom of Makuria, located in northern Sudan and Southern Egypt, or so say the BC forum thread for the faction. They are Orthodox Christians, and strong in lighter infantry and cavalry. They have a pretty cool history of conflict with whoever is controlling Egypt at the time (the Ayyubids in the mods timeframe), and I'm looking forward to more of the same in my game.

Here's a pic of the Kingdom and its capital, Dongola.



I should have my first update tonight.
