Had a pretty cool battle in Empire total war earlier..

Was me (Spain) vs Portugal, I had invaded and was sacking towns in the area with the Royal Army trying to bait their army out so I could strike, however for some reason the Portuguese army pulled out of Lisbon and instead set up shop in their port, probably hoping I'd settle in for a siege at which point they could use their garrison (Darth mod gives towns pretty good size garrisons when you siege a town) as an anvil and their army as a hammer.   However the Royal Army knew that their best chance to strike at Portugal was now, and so they attacked.

The Royal Spanish Army consisted of about 2200 troops, with a moderately strong infantry division, some old demi-cannons, and a relatively large cavalry wing of 400 Horse.

The Portuguese Garrison consisted of 3000 troops, all infantry about half being line infantry with the other half being militia support.

The battle began with me holding back and letting the bombard them from a distance, meanwhile I sent my Spanish Bandits out to probe their defenses. (Spanish bandits being a group of 120 Horsemen with a sword and a pistol.) They conducted a few hit and run attacks while I planned my attack, the bandits eventually tired and were low on ammo so I pulled them back into some trees.  I then began maneuvering my troops to prepare for the main attack to begin.  Knowing that head to head my infantry would probably get trounced ... I decided to commit a full scale cavalry charge against their line with the hope that they would at least be able to lessen the enemy numbers, moral and maybe (If Portugal had researched them) cause their troops to apply plug bayonets and be useless in a firefight.

Alll 400 horse charged the enemy line, with the bandits coming in from the flank... it was pure epic, the enemy line opened fire but for the most part... missed, though a few horses did get a musket ball to the face. While they were charging, my infantry followed rushing to get into musket range for the followup attack.

The charge was beyond successful, Portuguese broke as the horses swarmed their line.. as one unit broke the horses would go onto the next one, breaking them, only 1-3 enemy units actually managed to get into a firefight with my troops but a couple musket barrages sent them running home.

It looks like a terrible tragedy or a terribly good party. Either way is fine with me, though.

Janet, for the last time, you can't restore your magicka by bathing in the blood of slain virgins.

I dunno. I think ein is trying to fill the 'perversion' black-area that has been caused by the removal of Sofia- However, ein's male-ness means that it's a lot more wierd to know of his habits and preferences- at least where anime is concerned.

Also, ein seems to be following Janet in their Touhou-Hijack, which Janet is doing due to the removal of IWM. Maybe IWM was Touhou-troll enough that ein and Janet both need to be reasonably Touhou obsessed to fill his void- although dwarfmcdwarf seems to be filling his space in general annoyingness, while solifuge is rapidly climbing the bigot-ladder. (joking, bro).

Meanwhile, ToonyMan has begun to revert to his old self, causing me to become more insightful and deep- although that could just be from WD beating it into me.

In effect, we're all swapping our personas around so that we have an even fit in the forum.



I like to call this 'Tack's Negative Forumite-Space Principle'. Or TNFSP for short. Or 'ToNFuSP' for pronunciation. Or 'The Awesome Law'. For Shiggles.
It's strange, because reading this, my wife agreed.

I'm not swapping around at all. I'm still a huge perv just that I don't talk too much about it.

I'm still a huge perv, too. I just try not to talk about it because it's not cool when dudes are like that (especially online.)

So I seem to be building up a manga collection, of sorts.
Of sorts because, so far, I only have 6 H-manga, of which 3 are Touhou, and then the massive 8 gig torrent of Touhou doujin that I've only barely gone through.
It's not what it looks like!

I repeat: Is perversion some sort of contest between you two?

Well, that doesn't necessarily imply more perversion.  Just that you're far less afraid of anyone finding out (or that everyone has already found out).
