Alright now kids, gather around the campfire, Uncle BTM has a stroy to tell you.
-----
Yevin Blavonovich, Emperor and General of the Bosporus, is strong, despite his old age of 63 (an incredible old age for someone of this era), Yevin is as strong as ever. He is hardy old man, standing at 6 feet, 7 inches; Yevin is a terrifying man to be around. On the battlefield he is a monster, he fights to the death. But, despite his physical attributes, Yevins true strength is his ability to understand and comprehend. He is quick witted and beyond all else, a gifted Strategist.
Today, however, is something different. He is no longer facing Barbaric Tribes in Asia Minor, but the highly disciplined army of the Zemeckis. He is General of the Carthanic Armies; his decisions will make or break his empires.
The future is uncertain, war seems eminent. He is outnumbered, 3 to 1. But Yevin remains confident.
That is why he is here, standing atop a hill looking over his camp. Fires burn bellow and smoke rises in the air. Hundred, possibly a thousand, men stand below him. The Carthanic Army is organized, disciplined and deadly. Yen sits in the saddle atop his mighty steed, the Eminent Victory. Surrounding him is his personal bodyguard and his loyal advisors. Unlike most advisors of his day, these where not his Yes-Men, they were not there to promote him as god like, that he is infallible. He is willing to listen and learn.
Down below were the Sovie-Carthanic Army. The average Infantryman was well armed and protected. The Armor consisted of a basic bronze breastplate, a helmet and a basic type of mail armor used to cover his arms and legs from arrows, a shield was also supplied. The weaponry was made up of a blunt sword, a spear, and the occasional Sling, a sort of missile weapon in which a stone is slung from a slingshot, it can do incredible damage.
Blavonovich looks over his army, they stand in think squares. He had built this army himself, he had drilled it. The army could march in columns and fight as one, but in hard times, it could be incredibly flexible. The Army was organized quite well.
The army is made up of two Imperials. An Imperial is a group of 500 men.
One Imperial is made up 250 men, or as it is called, an Argonaut.
The Argonauts are split up into groups of 50 men, the Water-Irons; the Water-Irons are the most flexible of the units. But its smaller numbers can cause it to be overwhelmed.
Yevin looked out over his men. His face dull. The only sign of Blavonovichs age is in his left eye, it is blind, pale and lifeless. But all else on his face gives an expression of confidence, and it is this confidence that is passed onto his people.
