A stirring action complemented by your splendid figures.
Gripping stuff.... I haven't looked in for a while and must say your figures are splendid.
Wonderful AAR for this action! During the siege of Vienna 5,000 Tatars sent out as a blocking force took one long look at the Polish Cavalry and retreated at a gallop, through the Turkish camp and over and around their siege lines. Nobody has ever described when and where they stopped.
DEATH TO BEGOVIA!
