Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades
Scenario Briefing: In terms of the number of men engaged, the battle of Belvoir Castle was one of the largest and ended inconclusively. The exact number engaged cannot be known. The numbers represented in this scenario is an aggregate of the various sources and given the state of affairs from the perspective of both sides, the most logical. Though Saladin's army could have exceeded 35,000, not all would have been available for this day and on this site, as many would have been sent to various locations to ensure his lines of supply were secure and that the Crusader's supplies and cultivated lands were harassed as much as possible.
For this scenario, darkness will prevail for the first few turns as the battle will start before sunrise. Be sure you understand the rules for moving under the cover of darkness. The initial setup is fairly straight forward, but the darkness is intended to allow both players to be sneaky during these early turns.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Can be played as either side against the AI or Head-to-Head.
Suggested Reading; Runciman, Steven - A History of the Crusades, Volume II: The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Frankish East, 1100-1187.
