"Crassus, I need you to go into my personal collection of literature in the yellow trunk, and take out "Strategies of the Northlands" by Salvash Forkbard."
"On my way, Sir."
"Ok then, let's see...History of Macedon... Phalangites In Formation... Illad And Oddessy... Morale In Minutes... Tactics And Logistics... Companions On The March... Alexander's Favorite Moves ... aha! I've found it!! Strategies of the Northlands, hmmmm this book semms to be older than me, huh? What is this? A Poem?? It must have fallen out." It reads:
"He will come, with spears drawn high, ready to command
His men will move so quickly, with just a sleight of hand
They'll move their pikes, straight up and still, focused straight ahead
When the cavalry comes running, they soon will all be dead
However he knows better, and waits to seal the trap
Here they come, round the bend, unaware of the attack
Companions from all sides now, now he drops the pikes
With barbarian riders slaughtered, the troops all run and hide
Victory! Victory! Shouts heard far and near
If you want to be like these men, I'll make sure I'm quite clear
Map on back, use it well, you'll gain victory
Like many men before, take a look and see."
"Crassus, please don't waste time. Hopefully you don't fool around this much on the battlefield...hmm?"
"Pardon me, Sir, but it would be in your best interests to see this."
"A Poem?? What is this on the reverse? A Formation?! We'll thank you Crassus, but with haste next time eh?"
"Without delay from now on, I understand."
OK THEN, well I ordered my disc but it taking a while. I know this seems like alot of BS, with the shipping and the disc and all, but I promise you all, it has been almost unreal for me as well.
