*smile*  Yep, Keith and I got a good laugh out of picturing these giant
catapults being pushed downhill into our oncoming ranks.  'tis good to
see them charge out though...

Cute, eh?

Here is an exercise.  Take your starting position and arrange it in
such a fashion that you will give your best shot at taking out the
weakest village on your starting 9x9.  This is the information that
you have at hand:

Terrain is Grassland

86 Human population

Wall Type:	No wall structure	Wall size:	0
Main Keep Size:	0			Stone Towers:	0
Gatehouse:	0			Ditch Level:	1
Moat Level:	0			Total Mean able to Defend:	0

Commander is Human Male

Okay.. do you have your characters and/or army all set up?  Take a look
at how you will fare against this village...

SLT # Type of Solders		TRL MOR Weapon wielded Armor Worn Shield Mount
 1  8 Human Netherworld Knights 16  150 Catapult       Chain Mail None	 None

Oh yes.. the leader doesn't really matter much, but for completeness..

Battlefield position 7 Center Reserve	Leadership: 4

Warmount: None		CF:	35	SA: None

Armor:	  Chain Mail    AF:	48
Shield:	  None		MAF:	44
DAM:	  0		INV:	0
MAR:	  1		SAR:	1

I hope you did better than we did.  Everything in the force
was wiped out and the battle was deleted (happened on the first turn).
We moved very cautiously from that point forward.. :)  By the way,
the attacking general against the above printout had a tactics of 10.
