Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades

Scenario Briefing: Variant - 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.

In this Harim variant, Nur ad-Din has taken the fortress and has turned his attention to repulsing the advancing Crusaders. The date is two days after the original battle.
