The greatest military achievements of the Sung came right at the beginning of the period, when they established their dynasty and reunified the empire in a series of campaigns which knocked out their Chinese rivals one by one.

He then embarked on an extraordinary series of conquests, with the aim of subduing the various kingdoms among whom China had been divided since the collapse of the T'ang in 907. |

Modern wargaming has always been one of my big interests, but I realise that it is never going to be everybody's cup of tea. (I use "modern" here in the sense of "happening now", and not - as some wargamers are prone to do - for the whole post-1945 era.) A lot of today's technology is difficult to evaluate, as not only is it very complex but it is also as often as not untried in actual combat, so that all we have to go on are guesses and over-optimistic sales brochures. |
