Thanks Craig, I think I lucked out on the twilight map, so I am glad that
turned out as well as it did and that people like it.

I played the original version of Battle at Twilight last night, the kinfolk one
this time. It was, I agree, hard, I did lose my hamlet and the Keep, but after
my Settlement had expanded into a town, the battle was firmly in my favour. So
it is definitely doable as was. And I must say, fun! Nice work Al.
