It is quite doubtful that Turks and Bulgarians (vs. Greeks, for example) actually hate each other that much. :) <br /><br />Bulgarians heavily depended on their superiour artillery (superiour in performance, that is to say), so deployed it aggressively. However, there numerous reports confirming willingness to attach fortified positions en masse. And did suffer heavy casualties for it, too. So, your battle result is not unreasonable historically speaking. :)<br />Cheers, <br />KrumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177858747058919807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-53881605553911337232012-07-20T22:06:28.447+01:002012-07-20T22:06:28.447+01:00Hi Bob,

Taking such a defensive position 'on the run' requires a certain degree of coordination and if that is not there then the result will usually be an expensive failure.<br /><br />It followed the general pattern of the actions that were typical of the war so the 'feel' was just right and so proved to be a welcome tonic for my cold infused spirit!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-89370137376454741902012-07-20T21:21:00.768+01:002012-07-20T21:21:00.768+01:00David,
