Its your move.

He’s probably beat you at that too.

I don’t think that’s going to cut it even if the Hun is a large target. Rodney is out gunned 2 to 1.

Cut mate…I mean check mate…lol

Let’s just hope your knights are better on the board than they are on the field.(although give them credit, I see one downed knight and one downed Hun, so hopefully that means it’s anybody’s battle at this, er, point)

This strip is getting too violent.

Rodney is actually engaging in battle??This is the first time we have ever seen him not run away!

Big Barbarian takes Wimpy Knight…

Once a knight is enough.

He looks more like a checkers player, Rodney.

If it’s hand-to-hand with hacking tools, one on one? the defenders have already lost. In THAT kind of fight the prepared side fights in squads of three at the least, five or even seven on one…separate ONE enemy, kill him quick, go for another…that way you’re always winning, minimum exposure and maybe safe return…? come on, where do you think TEAMS come from? early war with hand tools was like HUNTING. Split one off from the herd, kill it. go get another.Teamwork wins in those situations. "I got your back " isn’t just a saying about office politics, I’m saying.

I figure that while the Hun was setting the board Rodney would be disappearing in a cloud of dust..\\//_

Sir Rodney: knight gets rooked. :]

It like Zero and Atilla the Hun in battle!

I’d rather that Hun beat me at chess.

And thus we witness the beginning of the

“Renaissance”

The Huns probably were playing chess before the people of Europe. The Crusaders brought chess back with them from the Arabs who got it from the Persians who got it from India.

War would be much nicer and less expensive if it came down to playing chess!
