Explanation: The Mongols (top/first) waited for good weather to invade enemy countries - typically whatever was the best season, locally, for grazing, but sometimes waiting instead for rivers to freeze for easy crossing.

Random Turkish ramblings : It feels like in asia, the idea that warfare isn't just against your opponent but also circumstances seems to be the perspective. Kinda explains why backgammon is popular among turkic peoples; you don't just play against your opponent but the dice too.

The above could be 100% bullshit. I don't care. Love me some backgammon.
