not bad

Was ok though a little long in labouring a point or building the context for an event eg the skirmishes and the war itself. The descriptive detail though of those skirmishes and the war including the military strategy and armoury used, was very insightful for some one who knows very little of ancient wars.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
