Date: June 15th, 1157 - Size: Medium - Location: Northern shore of Lake Huleh
Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades
Scenario Briefing: Historical - In early 1157, there was a truce between the Kingdom of Jerusalem and Zengids led by Nur ad-Din. The truce was broken when King Baldwin III decided to raid Muslim animal herders and steel their herds. In response, Nur ad-Din raided Crusader lands. One such target was the fortified town of Banias. With the siege underway, King Baldwin organized a relief force of several hundred knights and several thousand men-at-arms. On his way, the Crusaders rested and camped along the northern shores of Lake Huleh. With no one guarding the camp site, Nur ad-Din attacked before dawn.
If you decide to play as the Crusader commander, you will earn extra points for reaching and removing your surviving units off the map at hex 53,0.
Note: To simulate the early morning Muslim attack, all Crusader units will start disordered and facing in various directions. Some rear units will start fixed with a 50% chance to release starting on turn two.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crusader Alliance against the Anti-Crusader Alliance AI but can be played as either side against the AI or Head-to-Head.
