That is to say, Prince Salim's rebellion against the Padashah Emperor, Lord of the Four Quarters, Fountain of Mercy, Sword of Justice, Akbar the Great, was roundly defeated today, mainly by muddy going which played merry hell with his cavalry deployment. Daddy has rashly pardoned his son.
Sorry, no pix today.
I did wonder!
Which forces were involved? If no photos, what about artists sketches? Relief sculpture? Reenactment at your triumphant March through the capital?
Akbar's and Salim's. Whose would have been, under the circumstances?
WHAT NATIONS then.....

If you don't recognise the names, the answer won't mean much anyway. It's in an Asian country.
Since FK is being his usual helpful and generous self :D
Akhbar the Great and Salim (later known as Jahangir) were Mughal Emperors sometime in the mid-1500s to early 1600s. I'm too lazy to look it up on Wikipedia :)
So, Mughal forces in each case and a historical result if I remember correctly.
OK, India, since Ithoriel is generously pretending to believe everyone knows.
What?
It's the pointy bit at the bottom of Asia.

Mis-read that as Asda; still works though :D
So the green-clad hordes of Asda are about to strike westward? Have I got that right?
They've flown the Co-op?
;D ;D ;D
