How can we live in the same basket as the serpent? - Andalusian poet Ibn al-Gassal on the fall of Toledo

Al-Andalus, 1085. The western jewel of Islam had broken into pieces. The petty Taifa emirs who inherited the once-mighty Caliphate squabbled and fought, then paid the Christian lords Parias in gold to avoid fighting at all. Alfonso VI, Christian king of a unified Leon and Castilla, could now put his extorted dinars to work. He would muster a great feudal host - not merely for plunder but to rip out the heart of Muslim Spain. He would seize the ancient Visigothic capital of Toledo and with it the great central plain to declare himself imperator of all Iberia.

But Alfonso would find there was fight left in al-Andalus, as Christian strikes radiating from Toledo were too much for even the emirs in their pleasure palaces to bear. Alâ€'Mutamid of Sevilla, the strongest among them, would risk the Taifa dynasties' independence and call to arms a Muslim force unlike any that the Christian Kings had faced. Granada and Badajoz would join him to invite the Almoravid fundamentalists in to save the Muslim faithful. Yusuf, Sultan alâ€'Murabitun, had secured his Berber empire in Africa and seized a port and fleet just across the Mediterranean strait from al-Mutamid's Algeciras. A titanic campaign for Spain was set to unfold.

Almoravid, Volume II in Volko Ruhnke's Levy & Campaign Series, takes us from Nevsky's frozen northeast frontier to medieval Latindom's opposite corner. The same base rules show the muster of lords, their levy of forces and capabilities, and their command of armies on campaign across 11th-Century Spain. But al-Andalus was not Russia: your lords will enjoy good Roman roads and gentler seasons but must bypass or smash against Iberia's profusion of tough Moorish fortifications. Taifa politics and Parias tribute will guide your military strategy. African troops, bloodthirsty crusaders, the avaricious Cid - each may or may not make their appearance. And all will play out across a field half again as large as that of the first volume.

Very useful USB hub
Color: Black
Works as described. This thing has more inputs than most will ever need. I thought it would be big and bulky but it doesn't take up much space at all. It's super lightweight, except for the power supply but even then, it's not that heavy. I'm currently using some of the USB 3.2 ports and 1 of the USB charging ports with zero issues and now I'm able to plug more devices without fear of my PC struggling to communicate with them all. It's a little pricey compared to other USB hubs but I feel it's totally worth it.

Super product.
Size: 12 Outlet, Size: 12 Outlet
Really happy with this strip. It mounts to the wall on the ends, which is MUCH better than attaching with hidden keyholes. Having a lighted switch above each outlet is very useful and saves both power and extends the life of components not in use. The cable retention on both ends is genius. Wish I had one of these years ago

Great power strip for my shop vac and miter saw!
Size: 12 Outlet
Works great in my garage! I currently have it mounted on the wall and have my shop vac and miter saw plugged in. It makes it incredibly easy to turn the master switch on and have my shop vac and miter saw turn on at the same time. When I’m not using the shop vac and miter saw combo, I shut off their individual switches and I’m free to use the other plugs so the individual switches for each outlet are very handy! It’s very durable as I have it mounted on the wall and has an adequate number of outlets for my work bench. The size is just right and it was very easy to mount. My only suggestion is to space the screw holes on the power strip so that it can be mounted between 2 standard wall studs 16 inches on center for unfinished wall mounting. The screw holes didn’t line up like this so I could only put screws on one side of it and I needed to improvise a way to secure the other side of the power strip to the next stud so it was as mounted securely and didn’t move as I plugged and unplugged things.

Perfect power strip
Size: 6 Outlet
Great value for the money. I love the switches for each plug and has lights at each plug; lets you know when you have a outlet switched on, love that. Well-made, heavy-duty cord and circuit breaker, all high quality.
