Puke, old chap, I believe the peaty tipple you were partaking was most likely "Lagavulin", a rather smokey choice drink. If what you were drinking had a bLast of the sea in it, then you were drinking "Laphroig" - my personal favourite.

Mac, the Mongols never got as far as Kiev. The valiant defence of Georgia and Kazar by the 5th and 6th Byzantine armies, gave time for the armoured legions of the "Army of the East" to jump across the black sea, and terminate with extreme prejudice. Glorious days, a glorious fight, and massively aided by that stupendous German crusade that for some reason turned up and got caught in the melee (why they were crusading that late in the game can only be a bug). Now for the Italians!!!
