Meanwhile in Castille, the Navarrese of @Badger73 have found a nice little hill on which to hide from the mighty French host:

EMPIRE BUILDERS: Field of Glory 2 Medieval Campaign - COMPLETED!!

And @Nathangun is pulling the same trick, despite having the offensively juggernaut Normans! 
Don't worry, my Byzantines are coming. Might take awhile, since I have to haul a Heavy Artillery piece all the way to your end of the board.

Bah! How typically boorish of the French!
They enter our lands uninvited with their muddy boots, bad breath, and slop-house table manners. Then grouse at not being embraced with open arms.
Someone ought to shame them back to Gascony. Dios mio! I think I shall do so myself.
Can you do that? I though Heavy Artillery was immobile and only light artillery could be moved around.
I thought that too, based on our game we had awhile ago. But I just moved it! Maybe this is a special Byzantine model! Using Roman Technology! The move is only one though, and straight ahead.Can you do that? I though Heavy Artillery was immobile and only light artillery could be moved around.
Eurika! That is so good to know. Light artillery may move diagonally. I forget whether it is 1 or 2 squares.
Don't forget to miss.
Don't worry, I have high expectations, so I'm sure it will be useless!
If I remember, you were very protective of that Artillery. You might have had some unit right in front guarding, so didn't know you could move forward one space. Then when you saw that, you stopped checking?Can you do that? I though Heavy Artillery was immobile and only light artillery could be moved around.
You won't have high explosives so you need to make the best of those high expectations . . .

Greek Fire would've been a cool addition to FOG2 Byzantines ... although mostly used in naval engagements if I remember correctly?
IIRC we still aren't sure what it was made of.
Yes, Greek Fire was primarily a naval weapon because a large enough siphon apparatus to fling it far enough to be effective was pretty big and clunky, not to mention dangerous to handle.
There were infantry Greek Fire siphon throwers but it was rare and I can't recall the circumstances; again because the apparatus was heavy, clunky, and touchy. Too be fair, any game which simulates them should allow for siphoneer self-immolation probabilities when disruprupted by enemy missiles or melee. Greek fire was truly a two edged sword.
Isn't there an Islamic naphtha thrower unit if FOG2 though?
It just occurred to me that when being attacked the defending faction doesn't have to win....to win.
It is taking me forever to reach HOA's defenders! Still a few more turns before we can get down to it.
Looks like we managed to punch a hole through the Scottish centre ... see if we can exploit.
