and wanted to rumble with my good old Fatimid"s. It was a good close match. With lots of edgy melees and nasty bow fire!

The mighty contest lasted 7 rounds and the Fatimids broke the Byzantine's with a marginal victory.... They were on their last leg for sure... One more turn it would have been a Draw for sure or a victory for the Byzantine's...

I was glad that Chuck did not use his Varagian's!!! Next time he will...
