Well, it had to happen.
I have Normans.
Ross has Normans.
I have Anglo-Danes.
And someone keeps whispering "1066" in my ear. I swatted him away, but he tried the other ear.
Knock it off Paul!!
Oh well, it was inevitable:
So I ordered some...and then some more..and some more....it's easy to do ...it's just a few clicks on my computer...and some numbers change in my bank account.
So simple!!
Four troops of the 7th Cavalry were sent out after intelligence was received that a group of hostiles had set up a village a half day's ride from their fort.
Orders were to demolish the tipis and drive the hostiles away.
The Black Foot and Lakota tribesmen were not going to go easily. The white men were harassing them again.
Using The Men Who Would be Kings with some amendments for Plains Wars Spyros and I played a great little game that looked like it could have gone either way until the men of B Troop got through the defending Braves, setting fire to the tipis and the Indians decided to retreat.

Looking back to a couple of posts a looonnngg time ago I noticed that Ross' Normans had beaten my Anglo-Saxons a couple of times and I had only had a single victory against his mounted thugs.
It was time for a rematch!
