Date: June 29th, 1149 - Size: Medium - Location: Inab and surrounding area
Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades
Scenario Briefing: Historical - It's the summer of 1149, and in an effort to gain the upper hand, Nur al-Din gathered an army composed mostly of mounted archers, numbering in the range of 6,000, and invaded the Christian principality of Antioch. Prince Raymond of Antioch countered this incursion and pulled together a large force of approximately 4,000 mounted knights and 1,000 infantry. Additionally, Raymond allied himself with the Assassins of the Nizari Isma'ili, led by Ali ibn-Wafa.
In this scenario, if you choose to play as the Muslim Alliance, you will find the Crusader alliance asleep and mostly surrounded. It will be dark, so take advantage of the situation and strike hard and fast. You must show no mercy.
If you would rather choose to play as the Crusader alliance, you must overcome your initial disadvantages and fight off your opponent. Failure means death or slavery in the mines near Damascus. Death would be preferred.
Note: To simulate Raymond's early failure to make camp in a defensible area, all the units of the Crusader alliance will start the battle in a disordered state and fixed. Starting on turn one, each individual unit will have a 50% chance per turn to become unfixed and prepare for battle.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Anti-Crusader Alliance against the Crusader Alliance A/I, but can be played as either side against the AI or Head-to-Head.
Suggested Reading: The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land by Thomas Asbridge - Chapter 8.
