HILARIOUS!!!

Unfortunately, it was all too true in real life.

Castles gave way to Cyberspace.

Pity in way. (Thank God in others!)

The very scared way the soldiers are running from the might of the Falcons is funny. That was the humor. :) Not extremely funny, but it is funny. I like the scene too.

They couldn't before? :P

Wow, nice modernisation. I thought about making some Unreal 2004-esque figures with Black Falcon torsos. Are you telekinetic?

That is pretty neat. I always love it when my favourite factions wins a battle, good job.

I like it in a way, but I just don't think it is very accurate. For one thing the cannon seems to be a bit of overkill for just two guys using to kill two guys. Also the Falcon would have still worn something on his head. If the crossbow is still on the battlefield, then it appears to be a late middleages moc. And even with firearms, infantry and even cavalry still wore some kind of armor, if not just a helmet.

Accurate or not, I still like it. I like the way you mounted the cannon on the cart wheels. Also, the scenery, though very simple, works well. It shows that you don't have to have a thousand bricks to build terrain with in order to set up a nice scene.

Finally?

The way this bunch of AFOLs played with their Lego, the Crusaders have been beaten thousands of times over.

And I suspect that the Crusaders have won quite a few lesss times.

First off, the cannon was just put there for the heck of it. I was not trying to do a complete battle scene - just a rendition of an idea I had. A good excuse for this is that this is off to the side of the battle and a squad of crusaders are up against an artillery piece by itself (the usual number of men to operate a cannon has almost always been about three). Secondly, I do not have shakos - I never had any pirate sets. Third, this has no set date. Maybe you could better imagine it as if the crusaders never bothered to upgrade and the Black Falcons are 200 years ahead of them. You did make some good points though. Thanks for your input.
