Siege Training #1 - Intended to be played as the Crusader Alliance versus the Anti-Crusader Alliance A/I

Please READ the entirety of this description for details on weapon usage.

In this training scenario, you will be introduced to the basics for conducting a siege.

To start, there are three-unit types that you will be using to conduct a siege. More siege units will be introduced later. These three units are:

The Mangonel: This weapon type is the most common catapult weapon used from 1100-1200 A.D.

The Ballista: This weapon type is an anti-personnel weapon and cannot damage a wall.

Sappers: These are men tasked with the under-mining of a wall or tower hex.

Your best option to use the Mangonels will be concentrate their fire on a single hex. It is recommended that you fire both catapults at hex 30, 18. Do this continually until a breach is made.

Next, select your sapper unit at hex 35, 21 and move it to hex 32,18. This will take 2 movement turns to complete. Once there, you will need to wait until turn 3 to start mining operations. On turn 3, select the "Command" drop down and toggle the "Change Sapper" option. You will then see the mining dialog. Select OK, and you will start mining. The results of your mining will be displayed at the beginning of each turn.

The object of this training will demonstrate how to breach a wall with both a catapult and sappers.

Also, practice firing your ballista at the enemy archer unit defending wall hex 24, 21.

Note that the walls have been set with a reduced strength so that their breach can be accomplished with the time set for this scenario.

Congrats, you have completed you first training course.
