Date: June 15h, 1157 - Size: Medium - Location: Northern shore of Lake Huleh

Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades

Scenario Briefing: Variant - 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.

In this variant both sides will start entirely off the map. As such, this is a meeting engagement. Each side must attempt to exit units off the map using the exit hexes. Victory points are gained by exiting units.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Can be played as either side against the AI or Head-to-Head.
