Thanks for your post, that is interesting information.
TEAW is a really great game, yes. It is one of the most popular PBEM games in our club (The Wargaming Club). I have played over 20 MP games and against some of the very best TEAW players in the gaming community. In just about all of my games, playing as the WE or CP, Lawrence is a non-factor. Good command ratings, but is low ranked and leads (usually) only low quality Arab cavalry. He IS good at harassing supply lines, tearing up rail ways, running down depleted and isolated units and his specialty at evasion. Other than that, he is not really useful in say larger campaign operations. IMO the Arab revolt is not very well represented in the game and could use a bit of work-which it has in mods. Another addition to the game that I myself have tried to mod is the inclusion and effects of the Spanish Flu via elevated attrition rates. It is too bad the devs have stopped work on this wonderful game. A patch hasn't been released since 2016.
