Just a quick thought: A game write-up like this might be a good walkthrough for newer players. Stating things like who/what you're recruiting and for what purpose, what you're researching and why, how you set formations and deploy your armies are all helpful tips. Entirely up to you of course, but I, for one, am cheering you on!
Taking a break from playing, it's fun to read, and interesting also for the dramatic aspect you place on it. Nice storytelling.
