Forsooth gang, this new mediaval phase in the cantina is just a foretaste of the massive hunt to come, after all, what could be more amusing than pursuing miscreants in full chivalric regalia

I do like debt collection.

Anyhow, I am particularily pleased as I got a spare 20 minutes Last night and finished off the Turks. Their paltry Last ditch defence in Syria of 300 peasants and 61 Ghulam cavalry fell over when assaulted by 800 battle hardened Byzantine and mercenary soldiers. Final score, Turks 12 and Byzantines 358 and the head of Sultan Suleyman I on my lance.

After a breif period of consolidation, I suspect I shall go on a crusade to rescue the Holy Land from those wretched mamelukes

PS one thing that would improve MTW would be the ability to deploy field fortifications, such as sharpened stakes in front of the archers/arquebusiers or whatever, chevaux de frise, caltrops and all that sort of jazz. It would add to the tactical options available and allow true defensive techniques to flourish. For example, the most effective way at the moment to block a bridge is to place heavy infantry at one end, supported by archers. If you could use chevaux de frise, it would stop cavalry charges just sweeping you away and would mean greater tactical options
