Date: August 17th, 1178 - Size: Medium - Location: Hama

Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades

Scenario Briefing: Historical - The Battle of Hama was not the result of a planned mission to recover Crusader lands for the recent advances by Saladin. In fact, it was the result of a group of Crusaders, with no orders and nothing better to do, wanting to ravage the countryside for plunder and booty.

While this raid was initially successful, they finally came up to the town of Hama and its heavily manned fortress. When it was discovered by this garrison that the Crusaders were approaching, the Muslims gathered their men and arms and vacated the fortress to stop and destroy these piratical Crusaders.

This scenario will commence before daylight (with night shading graphics), so be careful to adhere to night movement rules during the initial couple turns.
