Game 1. I invaded the Arabs lands and completely out deployed and outplayed them. My Gascon light horse enjoyed charging the retreating Arabs In the back before I let my Saxon allies loose to grind the arab spearmen to dust.
Game 2. I returned to Aachen to find a usurper in my place. I completely out deployed the rebels and then let loose my Saxons to again grind the enemy spearmen and camp to dust.
Game 3. I was determined to show my powers outmatched Alexander the Great so invaded the Hindu Indian lands. Again out deploying my enemies I ground them to dust using my Saxons to power through the enemy foot and elephants.
Game 4. Setting off back to Aachen I revisited the arab lands to bring them back into the fold. Comfortably outdeploying my opponent I was able to surround and capture their embedded Brilliant CinC before yet again allowing the Saxons to grind the retreating arab foot into the dust.
Game 5. Invading Byzantium taking the mountain route, I filed through the passes to outdeploy the opposition. Desperate charges by the enemy cavalry came to nought and even my dismounted bowmen joined in grinding the Byzantines to dust to further extend my Empire.
