^  Very likely both, yes.  :P 

The last time I saw camels that far north was when I invaded Denmark as the Fatamids in an MTW/VI (XL mod) campaign.  Kinda felt bad for my troops shivering in all that snow...

There are also, 'Dog' resources that allow you to recruit War Dog Units. This is kind of bizarre. I never run into anything like this when playing as the Normans across North Africa or Egypt where you'd think camels would actually be. And so far, I have no dog or camel units in my list of units to recruit. I am perplexed and intrigued at the same time. Which happens often to me.  :o

^  Weird.  I thought "war dogs" went out of vogue after the Late Antiquities/Early Medieval period.  I wouldn't have thought they were still a thing in the time span during which MTW/Medieval 2 takes place.

Right there with you Martok. I don't even believe there were War Dog Units in any version of vanilla M2TW that I recall.  :dunno:

Where's his radio? Doesn't he need a radio or something to call-in arty with? Maybe those binoculars are the new, 'I-Binoculars' I've heard about.  :biggrin:

A fun game with a non wargamer ( and won't become one ). Grasped the rules fast and easy and we had some fun at the office hours ( don't tell anyone! )
The action story is on the blog.

Did everyone time-warp back to late Victorian London?  (Sorry, I'm not familiar with the game at all.)  ???  Nice screenie, though!
