Crusade: Period between 2nd and 3rd Crusades
Scenario Briefing: Variant - Since the beginning of the siege on the 12th of December, things have not be going well for the Muslim besiegers. The defenders are well trained Hospitallers and the castle is well supplied. Finally, the Muslim camp was attacked on the 7th of January with heavy Muslim loses. Resulting from a bold dawn sortie from the castle. Since hearing of these set backs, Saladin has dispatched his veteran general Qaimaz. His force of 500 cavalry, along with additional supporting infantry, has brought along a banner of sappers.
As commander of the Muslim forces, you must use the catapults and sappers to gain entry to the castle. Failure is not an option.
