Date: August 12th, 1164 - Size: Large- Location: Harim and surrounding area
Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Following the Battle of al-Buqaia and his near-death experience, Nur ad-Din, with the help of his vassals, moved his army north of Antioch and laid siege to the fortress town of Harim. Though King Amalric was busy in Egypt, the lords of Tripoli, Antioch, and a contingent force from the Byzantine Empire converged on Harim to relieve the siege. Over 20,000, from both sides, will engage to determine the fate of Harim and more importantly, the surrounding counties and Crusader States.
This scenario will diverge from the historical event in that Nur ad-Din will not retire from Harim (Harenc), and will not only continue the siege, but engage the coming forces of the Crusader alliance.
Ladders have been allocated to select Crusader units.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Anti-Crusader Alliance against the Crusader Alliance AI but can be played Head-to-Head.
Suggested Reading: A History of the Crusades: Volume II, the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Frankish East by Runciman, Steven, 1100-1187. Book IV, Part IV.
