Re: 2023 - Scholars is Back Online

No way, I happened to randomly check this after a year or so and it just came back. What a coincidence.

Hey James, I was more a lurker than anything else, but I have so many memories and knowledge from this place. So glad that it's back online.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Re: The vs. Thread

Lü Meng vs Xu Huang historically? 3 months later... Probably Lü Meng. While I like Xu Huang more, he was more a tactician than a strategist and Lü Meng always reminded me of a polyvalent general (a good strategist and a good tactician). Xu Huang might win in a pitch battle (I think he was the bette...

Re: The vs. Thread

I have searched the thread for this matchup and I saw some reply about it, but I want more opinion !

Zhang Liao vs Deng Ai in a battle. Equal numbers on both side. Who is the better general and who would win in a battle ?

Neither side had a large army and fought each other, Guo Huai was defeated and fled back to Chang An. T...

Re: if wei yan dont die, what would shu be ?

Wei Yan would still not be enough to beat Deng Ai. I am not so sure, Wei Yan did defeat Guo Huai. Wei Yan was a great military officer, crappy person, but really good at leading armies. When did he beat Guo Huai ? I don't remember, but it doesn't really prove anything since Deng Ai was superior in ...

Re: The Three Kingdoms (Yu Sumei translation)

Just got my copy of the three volume ! I got to say, these are great. They fit well in your hand and they're easy to read. Sure there is not much footnotes, but if you're an expert on the Three Kingdoms era, you don't really need it. You have all these informations in the Kongming encyclopedia. Ther...

Re: The Three Kingdoms (Yu Sumei translation)

I just bought them from Amazon ! I'm pretty excited since I only have the You-Feng version and I don't have the last volume. I'll post a simple review here once I get them !
