Date: August 12th, 1164 - Size: Small - Location: Marshes south of Harim
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.
This scenario takes place in and around the marshes where historically the Crusaders were driven into and massacred. Nearly all were killed or captured. This scenario covers a section of that battle. If you decide to play as the forces of Nur ad-Din, you will have the opportunity to push the Crusaders to the creek and from here, there can be no retreat or escape. It will be fight or die for the Crusaders!
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Anti-Crusader Alliance against the AI but can be played as either side or 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.
