Ral Roke I'm working on it. sweatdrop Despite that poor original diplomatic effort things aren't out of hand yet. Not yet. My promary concerns are Wei and Yuan Shao's forces since they control more of the Great Wall. But if I hash out an alliance with my fellow barbarians in the South, then Shu becomes next on my list.

Yes I remember this conversation well, considering our Eastern D&D campaign. The goal would be to get you at a disadvantage, and limit your mobility. Of coarse you need more than that but that's the basics.

My goal is to never fight you on your terms. I'm fully versed in Steppe Warfare, my friend. It pretty much will be Yangis Tirr all over again. Only this time you got no magic. You better hope you can find a Zhuge Lian somewhere to save your bacon.

How many Gaians do you know who understand Sun Tzu, let alone have read his treatise on the Art of War?

We can try to recruit Nelo as Zhuge Lian, but I think he'd more be into Cao Cao.

Des Voh We can try to recruit Nelo as Zhuge Lian, but I think he'd more be into Cao Cao. http://lyricals.deviantart.com/art/zhang-he-58184629 Gah, starving.... Nelo probably is Cao Cao. If he joined then I would be in trouble. Its through his territory that my troops have to pass through to get to the rest of China. We have no supply lines, but if he cuts us off from our route back home, we'll have to redirect our efforts to kicking Yuan Shao so we can get at his section of the Wall. And I'll still have to cross Cao Cao's territory to attack Shu. Either that, or take the long way through Wu.

Truthfully it isn't fair what your doing there though. The first true army to stop them was one trained to use the Mongols tactics against them.

It was the Mamluks, a people totally devoted to war. That and the Japanese were vicious opponents once they got it in their heads to work together. Other than that, the Mongols shitstomped everyone who got in their way using the same tactics they have used for over thousands of years.

You think I'm so inept that I'd have my entire dynasty be a joke, carved up by all my rival generals and by great landed family into their own satrapies without having some sort of concession that I stunk? If anything, call me Master Kong.
