Date: July 15th, 1158 - Size: Small - Location: Near the village of Butaiha

Crusade: Period between the 2nd and 3rd Crusades

Scenario Briefing: Variant - A year after his defeat at the Battle of Lake Huleh, King Baldwin III would again battle with his rival, Nur ad-Din. This time, the battle would be near the village of Butaiha.

This "What-If" variant of the previous scenario is a cavalry only fight. Mounted Archers versus Crusader Knights.

Note: The Muslim mounted archers have no supply wagons to resupply. They will be moving too quickly and will have to rely on their secondary weapon, the sword, if their individual supply of arrows are exhausted.

Recommended Rules: [Default]

Intended to be played as either side against the A/I or Head-to-Head.

Suggested Reading: A History of the Crusades, Volume II: The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Frankish East, 1100-1187 by Steven Runciman - Book 4, Part III.
