Thanks for the view, I'm about ready to game an FFL clash next week using my newly painted 18mm Blue Moon collection of French and Arab opponents. Enjoyed looking at your take on it!

Great looking game. Really makes want to finish up my Blue Moon FFL and Arabs.

I got the translator to "work":


Here is a certain Omar Driss el Jilai ben Youssef, a native of Zarahun, he took the name, preaches rebellion against Roumis powerful Berber tribes in the mountain of the Awlad al-Nasir, the Dawi Mani and Aït'Atta. The prophetic air, it will simply mounted on a donkey, which was dubbed the "Father of the Donkey" before him, it bears his prayer rug on which he stands to excite the people to revolt, and a servant walks behind him on a white horse. Knowing the superstitious listeners to whom it is addressed, Omar begins by them before conjuring tricks deeply affecting their imagination. then he preaches the Holy War and he even claims the throne of the Sultan which he said the elder brother, and already he has assembled a large force.

If this is the level of translation that passes in the "real world" its no wonder the world is Bleeped texted up.
